The Saffredi di Fattoria Le Pupille is obtained from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes (60%), Merlot (30%), and Petit Verdot (10%). The original vineyard, called PLACEHOLDER_WINERYNAME, is rooted in predominantly sandy and low-clay, low-organic-matter soils, at an altitude of approximately 250 meters above sea level. After the harvest, carried out with a yield of 50 quintals per hectare, the grapes were transported to the cellar for vinification. Alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel at a temperature of 26°C with the must macerating on the skins for 30-45 days. Aging occurred in French oak barriques (70% new) for a period of 18 months.

SAFFREDI TOSCANA ROSSO DI FATTORIA LE PUPILLE: TASTING NOTES

The Saffredi di Fattoria Le Pupille displays in the glass a ruby red color with purple reflections. On the nose, it releases scents of blackberry, blueberry, and ripe wild berries intertwined with vegetal hints of black tea and notes of bitter cocoa, coffee, and sweet oriental spices. The palate is enveloping and profound, enhanced by an elegant and velvety tannic texture and a long spicy finish. It pairs well with mature cheeses as well as elaborate land-based dishes such as red meats or game. Excellent also as a wine for meditation.
