Saffredi 2016 – Fattoria Le Pupille

The iconic wine of Maremma: power, elegance, and Mediterranean depth

Terroir

Sourced from the coastal hills of Tuscan Maremma, Saffredi is grown on galestro-rich soils mixed with clay and limestone, benefiting from a Mediterranean climate tempered by maritime influence. This setting allows optimal ripeness while preserving freshness and balance. The blend, led by Cabernet Sauvignon and complemented by Merlot and Alicante, reflects a unique identity combining Tuscan character with Bordeaux inspiration. The 2016 vintage, outstanding in Tuscany, stands out for its precision, depth, and remarkable ageing potential.

Tasting Notes

Nose:
Intense and refined aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and black cherry, enhanced by notes of cedar, graphite, sweet spices, tobacco, and subtle balsamic nuances.

Palate & Finish:
The palate is full-bodied, deep, and beautifully structured, supported by fine, silky tannins. Power and freshness are perfectly balanced, delivering great aromatic precision. The very long, persistent finish lingers on dark fruit, spice, and a noble mineral signature. A world-class Italian wine, built for long-term ageing.
