This is another great Saffredi following the perfect 100-point 2012. I tasted it a year ago and thought it was sensational. Even better now. It’s so dense and structured yet shows a lively, jazz-like vibe that gives it form and beauty. Needs at least four to five years to soften. Powerful and muscular. Cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot.

The artistry lies in winemakers’ hands, skillfully crafting blends that balance acidity, tannins, and fruit expression. Italian Red Blends offer a kaleidoscope of aromas, flavors, and textures, reflecting the country’s varied terroirs. Whether exploring a classic Chianti blend or a contemporary interpretation, these wines invite enthusiasts on a captivating journey through Italy’s winemaking mosaic.
Country
Italy
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.
Region
Tuscany
The central Italian region of Tuscany is widely understood to be one of the world's most famous and highly regarded wine regions. The beautiful rolling hillsides and medieval towns and castles which are a key feature of the area are also home to many of Europe's finest wineries, and extremely high quality vineyards growing the distinctive Sangiovese and Vernaccia grape varietals which are the flavorful backbone of Tuscany's wonderful red and white wines. For almost three thousand years, this region has been recognized as an ideal home for wine production on a large scale, and the ancient Etruscans, Greeks and Romans all noticed that fine grape varietals flourished on the unique soils and under the hot sunshine which typifies the area. Today, Tuscany is home to a wide range of wines, from the traditional to the complex, but all dedicated to excellent flavors and aromas, and maintaining the region's international reputation.
Appellation
Maremma
Maremma, a coastal gem in Tuscany, Italy, has emerged as a dynamic wine appellation, celebrated for its diverse and expressive wines. This region, once dominated by olive groves and farmland, now thrives as a viticultural haven. Maremma's unique terroir, characterized by a mix of coastal breezes and diverse soils, contributes to the creation of wines that balance freshness, richness, and a distinct maritime influence.
Renowned for both red and white varieties, Maremma produces bold Super Tuscans, often blending Sangiovese with international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The Vermentino whites showcase the region's versatility, offering crisp acidity and vibrant citrus notes. What makes Maremma truly unique is its ability to combine tradition with innovation, creating wines that capture the essence of the Tuscan coast and the evolving landscape of Italian winemaking.

Wine Advocate
The 2013 and 2016 vintages represent the best work by consulting enologist Luca D'Attoma during his time at Fattoria le Pupille. He joined the estate in 2012 and left as the 2018s were bottled. The 2013 Saffredi is very fine and elegant, and it offers a bright point of freshness that helps it stand apart from the 2012 and 2011 vintages, which show less overall clarity. This wine vaunts extreme focus instead, and although it does show ample oak and spice definition, the fruit is beautifully presented.
