2019 Mazzei Castello di Fonterutoli Siepi (750ml)

"An exceptionally beautiful and riveting wine...a total knock-out." - Antonio Galloni (Vinous)Siepi is a historic property owned by the Mazzei family since 1435. The fruit that goes into the wine comes from this property plus select parcels from the Fonterutoli estate. Merlot and Sangiovese lots are harvested, vinified and aged separately to produce an elegant and complex wine (50% Sangiovese, 50% Merlot). Only 35,000 bottles were made. "The 2019 Siepi continues a trend towards greater finesse and nuance in this wine. Crème de cassis, lavender, spice, licorice and plum meld together effortlessly in the glass. Dense and layered, with striking detail, the 2019 is so impressive. The flavors are bright, bold and punchy. An exceptionally beautiful and riveting wine, the 2019 is rich and concentrated, but not at all heavy. What a total knock-out." 99 points - Antonio Galloni (Vinous, September 2021)"This is a really racy and fine Siepi with currant, black-cherry and dark-chocolate character.
