Tasting Notes
Vinous 88
Le Pupille’s 2010 Saffredi comes across as light weight and fleeting in this vintage, with little of the depth, power or richness that has been the norm here, especially over the recent past.
Anticipated maturity: 2013-2016
Robert Parker 96
The 2010 Saffredi (Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon) delivers gorgeous intensity and broad aromas of black berry, leather, crushed granite and lingering smoke. It’s a masterpiece on all happy fronts. The textural elegance is superb. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2025. There is always a single face that identifies a region: A sole producer with the charisma and communicative talents required to perform the ambassadorial duties that bring a relatively obscure wine area to the world stage. For the Maremma, that person is Elisabetta Geppetti. Her newest releases confirm the extreme quality that distinguishes Fattoria Le Pupille. Importer: Winebow Inc.; www.winebow.com
