Note di degustazione
Layered and finessed, and pouring a deep ruby red color, the 2021 Saffredi unfolds in the glass with aromas of cassis, pine needles, polished cedar, wildflowers, and tobacco. The palate is weightless yet full, with velvety tannins and a seamlessly long texture, with its red-fruited highlights focusing further through the finish. It's a gorgeous and refined blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot that was aged for 18 months in 70% new French oak. Drink 2026-2050.

'Revined' sample, from a test tube. Dark black fruit with a dash of Italian amaro bitterness. Quite light-bodied, considering the alcohol. Finishes with dark-chocolate bitterness, like those 96% cocoa bars. Not the most user-friendly style, but ever-so Tuscany. (RH)
The Fattoria le Pupille 2021 Saffredi is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot that offers seamless integration of dark fruit flavors that bleed directly into spice, Tuscan cigar and earthy iris root. This vintage is compact and firm, especially in terms of mouthfeel, and there are graceful floral tones to close. The winery team has been tweaking the oak regime, landing on 60% to 65% new oak complemented by once-used barrels. They've been working in this manner since 2019 to establish sweet and integrated tannins.
