"This is one of the first great vintages of this Super Tusan wine from the great vintner family of Mazzei from Florence. It's an example of how for Super Tuscans, 1998s can often be the same quality or better than the legendary 1997s. The Siepi, which is about half sangiovese and half merlot, started out a little tight and earthy but after around 30 minutes of air it turned to pure fruit with cherries and raspberries and underlying chocolate. It was full, chewy and intense."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
The heartland of Sangiovese, producing Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and the Cabernet-influenced 'Super Tuscans' of the coast. Its wines balance bright acidity, savory structure and cellar-worthiness.
