Fattoria Le Pupille Saffredi 2018 Magnum
"The 2018 Saffredi is a regal, elegant, supremely polished wine. It may very well be the most refined Saffredi I have ever tasted. Silky in its first impression, with striking aromatic presence and exceptional balance, the 2018 is a total knock-out. Sweet red cherry, plum, mocha, licorice and cinnamon accents develop over time, but it is the wine’s overall balance and poise that are so impressive today. The 2018 is an absolutely gorgeous Saffredi. It spent 20 months in French oak barrels, about 65% new. Don’t miss it. (Drink between 2023-2038)." -Vinous, 96+VM
Le Pupille has long been a standard bearer in Tuscany's Maremma province. This is another terrific set of new releases from proprietor Elisabetta Geppeti and her team led by consulting winemaker Luca D'Attoma. The Morellinos in particular are terrific, as is the 2018 Saffredi, a wine that very much reflects the style of the year in its elegant personality.
