Fattoria Le Pupille Saffredi 2021

A flagship "Super Tuscan" of immense pedigree, the 2021 Saffredi is a profound and multi-layered red that showcases the excellence of Maremma's terroir. This vintage offers an impenetrable ruby-purple color and an explosive bouquet of blackcurrants, blueberries, and black cherries, seamlessly integrated with sophisticated notes of sandalwood, graphite, dark chocolate, and Mediterranean scrub. On the palate, it is full-bodied, dense, and aristocratic, featuring a silky texture and perfectly ripe, fine-grained tannins. The wine displays remarkable energy and precision, leading to an extraordinarily long, savory finish with hints of spice and mineral depth.

99 Points - James Suckling

Mesmerizing aromas of sandalwood, lavender, sage and currants. Mint and spearmint. Lead pencil shavings. Light coffee bean too. Medium to full body with ultra-fine tannins. It goes on for minutes. 60% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, and 10% petit verdot. So approachable already, but this will age beautifully. Best after 2026 and beyond.
