The 2020 Siepi is classy elegant and super-polished. Inky blue fruit lavender new leather cloves and mocha all meld together effortlessly. There is a sense of precision in the 2020 that is incredibly inviting. Even so the 2020 is very young and not fully expressing its potential. This just needs time to emerge but all the elements are there. - By Antonio Galloni on June 2022 Filippo Mazzei showed me a wide range of wines this year. I was most impressed by the Concerto the estate?s Cabernet Sauvignon/Sangiovese blend and Siepi the Merlot/Sangiovese that has long been the flagship. The Gran Seleziones all 2019s show the lighter structure of the year. Among the 2019s I especially like the Chianti Classico Riserva Ser Lapo which is once again a standout.

Equal parts Merlot and Sangiovese the Mazzei 2020 Siepi is a terrific vintage in a long line of wines that I had the pleasure of tasting through last year in a complete retrospective. The first vintage produced was 1992. The soils in the Siepi vineyard are especially deep and the site is surrounded by forests to keep it cool. These conditions give rise to abundant aromas of sweet black cherry underbrush and blue wild flower. This is a medium to full-bodied Tuscan red that shows enormous elegance and depth.
