Saffredi of the Fattoria Le Pupille winery is a rich, complex and elegant red wine produced in the Grosseto area and dedicated to Fredi, father of the current owner Elisabetta Geppetti, who, together with the famous oenologist Giacomo Tachis, created this label, which has now become the icon symbol of the cellar. Saffredi is a Supertuscan obtained from a blend of grapes mainly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with a small addition of Petit Verdot that adds color, tannin and a little structure. The vineyards, located in the surroundings of Magliano at an altitude of about 250 meters with south-east / south-west exposure, were planted in the early 1980s and are trained with the spurred cordon system on soils characterized mainly by sandstone. , with little clay and little organic matter. The winery, now managed by the second generation, owns 80 hectares of vineyards and produces about 500,000 bottles a year. The Saffredi by Fattoria Le Pupille is a Bordeaux blend produced with carefully selected grapes, harvested, depending on the year and the characteristics of the vines, between mid-September and mid-October. Once the grapes reach the cellar, they are subjected to de-stemming and fermented in stainless steel containers at a controlled temperature with maceration on the skins for a period of about 25 days. The wine is then drawn off and aged for 18 months in French oak barrels of first passage for about 75% of the total. At the end of the maturation period, the blend of the various vines is carried out, which may slightly differ from vintage to vintage depending on the final result to be achieved. The Fattoria Le Pupille Saffredi presents itself to the sight of a bright ruby ​​red color, with intense and concentrated aromas of red berry fruit on the nose, among which raspberry predominates, and berries, to then turn towards balsamic and spicy notes, including chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon. In the mouth it is round, soft and characterized by dense and well-balanced tannins and by a pronounced freshness that persists and strengthens the drink. This creation by Fattoria Le Pupille is truly a splendid example of the great intuition and ability of this beautiful winery which, in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma, has managed to get noticed for this exuberant and spectacular version of Supertuscan red.
