Description

Avec ce millésime 2017, l'icône de la Fattoria Le Pupille fête pas moins de 30 millésimes. Saffredi doit sa naissance aux souhaits et aux intuitions d'Elisabetta Geppetti qui, avec l'aide de Giacomo Tachis, a voulu créer un grand vin en Maremme, un lieu qui jusqu'alors n'avait jamais joui d'une renommée liée à ses vins. Dédié à Fredi, l'homme qui a inspiré la passion d'Elisabetta pour le vin, ses superbes notes (97 points Parker et Suckling) font de lui un Toscan exceptionnel, également en termes de prix, compte tenu de la gamme de vins à laquelle il appartient.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

Wow, there is a very impressive freshness here that defies the heat of this vintage. The 2017 Saffredi does not seem like a 2017 at all. Now celebrating its 30th birthday, Saffredi is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot. Thanks to the vineyard's proximity to the sea, leaving leaves on the vines and the sharp diurnal shifts of the area, the fruit was able to ripen in a balanced manner despite the hot and dry summer. The team at Fattoria le Pupille knew they would have to be ready to harvest early and lose some their yields, and they did. In the end, production was down 25%, but the result is a fresh, thick and beautiful red made with ripe fruit and dark concentration. This is a great effort from Fattoria le Pupille. This wine will be released in November.

James Suckling:

Gorgeous blackberries, dark chocolate, spice and lightly roasted coffee. Full body. Layered and creamy. Lovely, silky tannins that melt into the wine. A beautiful red from the vintage with class and finesse to the depth of fruit. Drink or hold.
