2021 Mazzei Siepi Tuscany IGT Italy 750mL

Mazzei’s Siepi is Tuscany’s under-the-radar superstar. A sumptuous Super Tuscan of equal parts Merlot and Sangiovese, the 2021’s 98pt score puts it dead even with $1,033 Masseto, the most revered Merlot on Earth. The price, however, is nowhere close: Wine.com and major retailers list this vintage at $140—not bad, considering the quality—but we’ve got this world-class bottling at barely half that, just $77. Wine Enthusiast calls this ‘21 “a benchmark for its elegance,” and it delivers blue-chip richness and class for a fraction of the price of its rivals. Ships October 15—claim yours right now. Pioneered in 1992 by the Mazzei family—winemaking nobility in Tuscany since 1435—Siepi stands as one of Italy's foundational single-vineyard wines. By planting Merlot alongside ancient Sangiovese in a sun-drenched bowl in Castellina in Chianti, the Mazzeis unlocked a masterclass in balance: the structural richness of Merlot married to the vibrant acidity and earthy tension of Sangiovese. Benefiting from a flawless 2021 growing season, this bottling delivers seamless layers of black plum, sweet cedar, violet, and dark chocolate wrapped in fine-grained, persistent tannins. Built on six centuries of winemaking lineage, it enters its prime now with three decades of cellar potential ahead. Secure your allocation before it vanishes.
