Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Monica Larner - 30 May 24
Consulting enologist Riccardo Cotarella left Fattoria le Pupille in 1998; so, the 1997 Saffredi was made under his tenure. It is 35% Merlot and reveals extra richness and textural density as a result. The rest of the blend is Cabernet Sauvignon, and there is a tiny splash of Alicante that gives some spiciness to the bouquet. The stylistic aspiration of this wine embraces softness, extract, concentrated dark fruit, prune, toasted oatmeal and coffee grinds. We opened a second bottle that showed more mineral definition of sandstone and pencil shaving. This remains one of the great vintages in the Saffredi timeline.

Tuscany

Tuscany, a renowned wine region in central Italy, is famous for its high-quality Sangiovese-based wines. Key styles include Chianti, with vibrant acidity and red fruit flavours; Chianti Classico, known for greater depth; and Brunello di Montalcino, prized for its rich, full-bodied character and ageing potential. Tuscany also produces prestigious Super Tuscan wines that blend Sangiovese with international varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon. Top producers are Antinori, for Tignanello; Castello di Ama, for Chianti Classico; and Biondi-Santi, for Brunello.
