Characteristics and tasting advice for the 2023 Saffredi from Fattoria Le Pupille
Tasting
Appearance
The wine displays a deep, brilliant ruby-red hue.
Nose
Elegant and complex, the nose reveals aromas of black cherry, blackcurrant, and blueberry jam. Notes of anise, green bell pepper, and a subtle touch of cigar round out this refined bouquet.
Palate
Warm and harmonious, the palate shows dense, fine-grained tannins that are beautifully integrated. The finish stands out for its length and persistence, offering a highly refined aromatic return.
Food and wine pairing
This wine pairs perfectly with filet Rossini, as well as noble red meats accompanied by foie gras and truffles.
Serving and cellaring
To fully appreciate the 2023 Saffredi, decanting before serving is recommended to release its full aromatic complexity.
A legendary Italian Super Tuscan from Maremma Toscana
The estate
Founded in 1978 in Maremma Toscana, Fattoria Le Pupille spans 75 hectares of vines between Scansano and Magliano. Led since 1985 by Elisabetta Geppetti, nicknamed “La Signora del Morellino,” the estate is now owned by the Geppetti family, with Clara and Ettore taking up the mantle. The first woman to chair the Morellino di Scansano Consortium in 1992, Elisabetta Geppetti has succeeded in drawing from this wild terroir wines of remarkable elegance.
The vineyard
Covering 20 hectares, the vineyard dedicated to this cuvée is located in Pereta, in the heart of Maremma Toscana. The vines were planted in 1985, with an additional section planted in 2006.
Saffredi was born in 1987 with the invaluable help of oenologist Giacomo Tachis, from the vineyard in Magliano. Situated at 250 meters above sea level, this vineyard is rooted in soils composed of sandstone, marl, iron-rich minerals, and clay. Saffredi from Fattoria Le Pupille pays tribute to Elisabetta’s mentor, Fredi, who inspired her passion for wine.
Winemaking and aging
The 2023 Saffredi harvest took place from the first half of September for Merlot through October for Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Fermentation occurred at 26°C in stainless steel tanks, followed by an extended maceration of 30 to 45 days. Aging of this Tuscan wine continued for 18 months in French barrels, 70% of which were new.
Grape varieties
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot
