Description
A 1998 vintage Italian red wine. Fattoria Le Pupille is a Morellino di Scansano estate, run by the charismatic and legendary Elisabetta Geppetti who abandoned the university halls for the vineyards and the winery in the 1980s. Elizabetta embarked on a process of renewal and innovation at Le Pupille, and she was joined by Giacomo Tachis (creator of Sassicaia, Tignanello and Solaia) and Elisabetta’s mentor, Fredi. This period at Le Pupille led to the creation of Saffredi, to stand alongside their Morellino di Scansano and Morellino di Scansano Riserva. First created in 1987, the blend has varied over the years, but a perfect balance of the classic Bordeaux grape varieties has now been set and the wine is made from 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, aged for 18 months in French oak barriques, 75% of which are new.
