Fattoria Le Pupille, Morellino Di Scansano 2024

Fattoria Le Pupille’s Morellino di Scansano 2024 captures the sunny, characterful spirit of Maremma in a fresh and approachable red. Made by one of the region’s pioneering estates, it combines juicy red-fruit expression with firm structure, lively acidity and beautifully polished tannins. The name Le Pupille refers to the two hilltop farms overlooking the medieval village of Pereta, like watchful eyes over the landscape.

Tasting Notes
Bright ruby red in the glass, this Morellino opens with inviting aromas of red berries, Mediterranean rosemary and a distinctive herbal note reminiscent of the Maremma countryside. On the palate, it is juicy and balanced, with ripe red-fruit flavours, refreshing acidity and a firm but supple structure. The tannins are smooth and well integrated, leading to a long, savoury finish. Although delicious in its youth, the wine’s firm backbone and balanced acidity give it the potential to develop gracefully over the coming years. It is equally rewarding now for its fresh, vibrant character.

Production
The wine is produced in Maremma, in southern Tuscany, where the coastal-influenced climate and varied hilltop vineyards provide ideal conditions for expressive, structured reds. Sangiovese—the principal grape at Fattoria Le Pupille and the soul of its Morellino wines—is fermented at 24°C in stainless-steel tanks, followed by 15 days of skin maceration. It then matures for eight months, primarily in stainless steel, with a small proportion aged in previously used barriques to add subtle complexity without masking the fruit.

Food & Serving
A versatile choice for antipasti, cured meats, pasta with tomato-based sauces, grilled vegetables and roasted or grilled meats. Serve lightly cool, at around 16–18°C, to highlight its freshness and juicy fruit. Decanting is not essential, though a short 20–30 minute airing can help the wine open up when served with a more substantial meal.

Producer
Founded as a family estate, Fattoria Le Pupille has become one of the leading names in Maremma under the direction of Elisabetta Geppetti. Sangiovese accounts for around 70% of the estate’s vineyards, reflecting the grape’s central role in the winery’s identity and its celebrated Morellino wines. With approximately 75 hectares spread across the Maremma landscape, the estate is widely regarded as a pioneer of the region. Its reputation grew significantly with the launch of Saffredi in 1987, a landmark wine that helped place Maremma on the international wine map.
