Mazzei Tinto

Description

This Tuscan beauty, born from the Mazzei family’s estate since 1435, is a seriously impressive wine – a testament to both exceptional terroir and a little bit of intuition. The south-west facing Sangiovese vineyard, nestled at 240 meters with a gentle 12% slope, sits alongside a Merlot plot at 250 meters, creating a remarkable balance of power and finesse. The limestone-rich soils, combined with the unique microclimate – thanks to the surrounding oak woodland – undoubtedly contribute to the wine’s complexity. Expect a seriously age-worthy experience, garnering top marks from Decanter, Wine Advocate and Vinous, alongside Jane Anson’s endorsement. It’s a wine that begs to be savored, ideally with rich, flavorful dishes or simply as a contemplative companion.
