Siepi's combination of equal parts Sangiovese with equal parts Merlot has resulted in a juicy, harmonious and ultimately very drinkable wine in 2024. More Sangiovese than Merlot at first, it opens with dark cherry and herbs underlined by some orange zest, then opening out into a deeper Merlot character of blackcurrant pastille, cola and soft tannins. The energy is high and the finish is fresh and mineral. It's not the finest Siepi ever made (that accolade goes to the 2021) but it is perhaps the most instantly appealing. Giovanni Mazzei deftly describes it as ’simplicity as a sign of sophistication’.
