Buy the wine

Mazzei Siepi is a real Tuscan heavyweight produced in vineyards dating back to the 15th Century. Siepi is the epitome of a ‘no expense spared’ wine spending 18 months in 225 litre French oak barrique. The resulting wine is powerful, complex and balanced with notes of sour cherry, violets and chocolate developing into mushroom, leather and cigar box with age.
 
The 2013 release of Siepi has already been incredibly well received by critics being awarded 95+ by The Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner, her best score to date. The extremely high quality of the 2013 vintage in Tuscany has been well documented and this wine can expect to see rave reviews across the board.
 
It is the combination of painstaking viti- and viniculture and the addition of Merlot that distinguishes this wine from other leading estates in Tuscany; at under £50 a bottle in bond, Siepi offers incredible quality. Moreover, while over 30,000 cases a year of Tignanello is produced, Siepi only produces 1,600.
 
Siepi 2013 is available to members of the Morning Wire Wine Club for £280 IB per 6×75 (£350.76 Duty & VAT paid). This release is always highly sought after and allocation is expected to disappear quickly. Don’t miss out on this fantastic offering from an archetypal Tuscan producer.
