Winemaker Notes

Impenetrable ruby red in color, this wine offers aromas of red fruits, red currant, blackberries and spices such as cloves, cinnamon and chocolate. On the palate, the wine is well-rounded and velvety, engaging all senses with majestic balance. The long persistence allows for enjoyment of the aromatic complexity.

: Great with red meats and game. It is also perfect with dark chocolate and in a contemplating environment, such as whilst enjoying a cigar.

Critical Acclaim

I love the currant and rosemary character of this wine. Some sage, too. Complex aromas that draw you in. Full body, extremely tight and chewy with a long and intense finish. The tannins are fantastic – so polished. Focused and beautiful. Mineral undertone with ash and hot stone highlighting the dark fruits. It goes on for minutes. Needs three or four years to come together. But a serious red all the way.

The 2015 Saffredi is a total head-turner. Bold and explosive, the 2015 captures all the magic that Le Pupille is capable of. Crème de cassis, lavender, mint, licorice and truffle are some of the notes that give the 2015 is decidedly exotic, racy personality. Even with all of its abundant richness, the 2015 possesses terrific supporting structure and phenomenal balance. In a word: magnificent! I can’t wait to see how the 2015 ages.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2015 Saffredi is a sultry and velvety wine from the Tuscan Coast. The blend is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot that sees 18 months in new and neutral oak. The textural richness is of the highest caliber, and the bouquet produces a long succession of black fruit, exotic spice and savory tobacco flavors. There’s a touch of mocha chocolate and toasted espresso bean as well. The wine delivers great length and power. It promises not only to age but to improve as it spends more years in the cellar. Some 30,000 bottles are made.
