It is best known for Saffredi, a Toscana IGT blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot that has been described as the Lafite of Tuscany. Owner Elisabetta Geppetti is known as the Lady of Morellino and the Ambassador of Maremma. In 1992 she became head of the Consorzio for Morellino di Scansano - the region's association of grape growers and wine producers. She was the first woman to gain that position in any Italian wine region. The estate has 75 hectares (185 acres) of vineyards in total, the core of which are located around the village of Peretta. These vineyard holdings include the 25ha (62 acres) of the original Pupille vineyard and the 5-ha (12-acre) plot responsible for Saffredi. There is also a 20-ha (50-acre) plot near Magliano, and the winery itself is located near Grosseto. This is a modern facility located within the traditionally-styled building that features on the label. As well as Saffredi, Le Pupille makes three Sangiovese-based Morellino di Scansano cuvées. These are a \"normale\", a Riserva, and the Poggio Valente Riserva, which is aged for 15 months in a mix of small and large barrels. There is also a IGT Maremma Toscana Rosso, named Pelofino, which is a blend of Sangiovese and Syrah with a small amount of Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc. 2015 saw the first release of Le Pupille, a 100 percent Syrah aged for 12 months in 300-liter French oak barrels. This is priced above the flagship Saffredi. The estate also makes a Rosamatti rosato and a Poggio Argentato white based on Sauvignon Blanc with Petit Manseng, Traminer and Semillon. Piemme is a recently introduced single variety deluxe white wine from Petit Manseng . The lineup is completed by SolAlto, a botrytized white wine made from Traminer, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. In total around 500,000 bottles are produced each year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","published_at":"2024-03-19T16:31:40-04:00","created_at":"2024-03-18T06:38:03-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Italy","Other_Wine","Producer_Fattoria le Pupille","Region_Tuscany","RK170324","Source_VendorEmail0324","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":26595,"price_min":26595,"price_max":26595,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44505859948682,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2018 | Fattoria Le Pupille | Saffredi","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":26595,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/59_408a0d51-6da4-4998-a1b7-ea0604dc6e55.png?v=1710758347"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/59_408a0d51-6da4-4998-a1b7-ea0604dc6e55.png?v=1710758347","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2018 | Fattoria Le Pupille | Saffredi at CaskCartel.com","id":26500004610186,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.288,"height":396,"width":114,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/59_408a0d51-6da4-4998-a1b7-ea0604dc6e55.png?v=1710758347"},"aspect_ratio":0.288,"height":396,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/59_408a0d51-6da4-4998-a1b7-ea0604dc6e55.png?v=1710758347","width":114}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2018 | Fattoria Le Pupille | Saffredi\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep ruby red with violet reflections.
