Fattoria Le Pupille Saffredi 2022

Fattoria Le Pupille Saffredi 2022 is a rich, full-bodied, and beautifully structured Super Tuscan red wine crafted by Elisabetta Geppetti in the Maremma region of coastal Tuscany. Visually displaying a deep ruby-purple hue, it opens with an inviting and complex bouquet of ripe dark cherries, crushed cassis, and black plums, seamlessly layered with nuances of sweet spice, tobacco leaf, cocoa, dark chocolate, and subtle oak toast. On the palate, it delivers a dense, velvety mouthfeel supported by firm, fine-grained tannins and a vibrant line of freshness, unfolding concentrated dark fruit flavors that transition gracefully into a long, persistent, and elegant finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with grilled Bistecca alla Fiorentina, roasted lamb chops, braised beef short ribs, wild boar ragù, and mature aged cheeses like Pecorino Toscano.

This is a young wine with terrific depth and layers of fruit. It’s full-bodied with notes of eucalyptus, lavender and sage and hints of matchsticks and oranges. It’s 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% petite verdot.

This is one of only a handful of wines made on the Tuscan Coast that has managed to interpret the vintage in such an excellent manner. The Fattoria le Pupille 2022 Saffredi (a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot) deftly plays upon the elegance and fruity brightness of the growing season, while also harnessing its freshness and its slightly more streamlined appeal. The wine is nuanced and layered with fine details that recall wild berry, spice, blue flower and blood orange. To my mind, the 2022 stands apart from almost every other past vintage of Saffredi. This is a new direction for the wine that we can all happily embrace.
