$145 / 1PK
If you're not already across it, Siepi is an undisputed benchmark for Super Tuscan prestige. Crafted from a precise half-and-half split of Sangiovese and Merlot, this masterful blend is aged for 18 months in premium French oak to build its signature polish. It immediately captivates the senses with intoxicating aromas of ripe blackberry, dark chocolate, crushed violets and a whisper of sandalwood. Once it hits the palate, it's phenomenally layered and silky, delivering a rush of dark fruit wrapped in flawlessly fine tannins that glide into a magnificent, lingering finish.

Why do we love this wine?
The Mazzei family has been shaping the local wine landscape since 1435, but it's the legendary Siepi vineyard that truly cemented their modern legacy. Tucked away in the heart of Castellina in Chianti, this extraordinary site is completely surrounded by oak forests, creating an idyllic microclimate that protects the vines from extreme weather. Their trailblazing decision to plant Merlot in these clay and limestone soils revolutionised regional winemaking. By capturing the very best of this prized terroir, they consistently produce a visionary wine that perfectly balances historic Italian structure with plush, modern luxury.
