Note di degustazione
The 1988 Saffredi impresses for its clarity and nuance. Today it is at a glorious peak of expression. Sweet dried cherries, rose petal, mint and licorice are some of the nuances that take shape in the glass. The 1988 doesn't quite have the opulence of the 1990 or the silkiness of the 1989 but it is a finely-knit, elegant wine that has stood the test of time beautifully. The finish is impeccable and vibrant for a wine of this age.

Tuscany. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Fattoria Le Pupille remembers 1988 as a positive year: hot, almost always sunny and dry. August, as usual, was characterised by its very high but overall within the norm temperatures, the winds helped considerably with the temperature range. The harvest was carried out in the first week of October. 4,200 bottles produced. A little paler than the 1997 but slightly more vigorous fruit on the palate. Tannins still there but with food this would be fun to drink. Real attack. (JR)
