IPSUS
Italy • tuscany
IPSUS’s project started in 2006 when the Mazzei family bought a plot of land, ‘Il Caggio’, from a neighbour. The wines produced here quickly surpassed their expectation, especially when sourced from a vineyard named ‘The Clos’. As a result, generational winemaker, Giovanni Mazzei decided to create a vibrant Sangiovese with great purity and a sense of place, hence the name Ipsus meaning itself.
‘My family’s passion has always been about making emotive, complex fine wines. With IPSUS, I wanted to go beyond, and take the bounty of nature and our ancient expertise to create a pure and exquisite expression of Sangiovese that showcases the wondrous terroir of the region that I’m so proud to be a part of. I want Ipsus to be electric, vibrant, and the tannins to be silky and elegant’ - Giovanni Mazzei.
In 2020, after years of hard work, Giovanni decided to release the first vintage, 2015, as a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione. Ipsus made its debut swooping great scores from international wine critics and was referred to as a modern Italian Cru. Vinate after vintage, the Ipsus keeps surpassing itself with the latest vintage receiving the coveted 100 points from Jane Anson.
