Understanding Fattoria Le Pupille, Saffredi, Toscana IGT, Tuscany
The allure of Saffredi lies in its combination of Maremma's generous fruit character and the structure and finesse commonly associated with Bordeaux's great wines. On the nose, it offers an intense bouquet of dark fruits, spices, and a touch of Mediterranean herbs. The palate is a symphony of blackberries, cassis, and plums, supported by well-integrated tannins and a streak of refreshing acidity. Each vintage of Saffredi undergoes meticulous vinification. Post fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barriques, with a careful selection of new and used barrels to ensure the perfect balance of fruit, oak, and tannins. Over time, Saffredi will evolve, revealing layers of complexity, making it not just a delight to drink but a journey through the richness of Maremma's terroir.
