Fattoria Le Pupille Saffredi 2023

Fattoria Le Pupille Saffredi 2023 is a polished Tuscan red that shows just how gracefully a modern Super Tuscan can combine depth, freshness, and purity of fruit. Built on 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, it reflects a refined approach to oak and a vintage that ultimately delivered far more than expected.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Saffredi 2023 shows a deep, inviting color that hints at its dark-fruited core. The nose opens with ripe black cherry, blackberry, spice, and subtle creamy chocolate, all lifted by a fresh, youthful Cabernet Sauvignon character. On the palate, the wine is expansive and expressive, with generous fruit, smooth texture, and a lively sense of energy. Compared with the firmer 2022, this vintage leans into plushness and brightness, making the tannins feel more integrated and approachable. It should age beautifully over the next decade or more, gaining further nuance and complexity.

Production
Saffredi comes from Maremma in southern Tuscany, where warm Mediterranean influence and well-exposed vineyards help ripen Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot to full aromatic expression. The 2023 growing season was marked by mildew pressure mid-season, but careful vineyard work allowed the fruit to reach impressive quality. In the cellar, Fattoria Le Pupille has continued refining its use of oak to emphasize brightness and fruit purity rather than masking the wine’s natural character.

Food & Serving
This wine is an excellent match for grilled or roasted red meats, rich game dishes, braised lamb, and flavorful mushroom-based recipes. It also pairs well with aged hard cheeses and Tuscan-style dishes with herbs and olive oil. Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for about an hour if drinking young, to let the aromatics and texture open fully.
