Fattoria le Pupille Saffredi 2022

CRITICS: “This is a young wine with terrific depth and layers of fruit. Its full-bodied with notes of eucalyptus, lavender and sage and hints of matchsticks and oranges. Its linear and tight at the end, with an energetic finish. Very Saffredi in nature. Better than the 2021. 65% cabernet sauvignon, 25% merlot and 10% Petit Verdot.” 99 points, James Suckling

“This is another fine set of wines from Le Pupille. Proprietor Elisabetta Geppetti has long been a leader in Tuscany’s Maremma, as these wines fully attest. The Morellinos are terrific, as are the higher-end Poggio Valente and Saffredi. Le Pupille also makes one of the most distinctive whites in Maremma. While that wine is simpler, it is also done with far more care than most similar wines, which only reinforces the degree to which quality is paramount here, across all wines.” Antonio Galloni, Vinous
