Fattoria Le PupilleTuscany, Italy
Why you'll love it
A top-tier Super Tuscan with serious depth and elegance. Critically acclaimed and built to age—this is the flagship wine from Elisabetta Geppetti's pioneering Maremma estate.
Fewer than 6 left, but you can still mix any 6 bin end wines for the extra 10%.
Lush and layered with black cherry, cassis, plum, and dark chocolate. Tobacco, mint, and spice weave through a rich, full-bodied frame with velvety tannins and a long, polished finish.
Best with bistecca alla fiorentina, venison, or truffle risotto.
Best known in Bordeaux, Napa Valley, Coonawarra
The backbone of Bordeaux and the world's most famous red grape. Blackcurrant, cedar and firm tannins, with real ageing potential. Riper climates give plusher fruit; cooler ones more structure and leafy freshness.
Best known in Bordeaux, Italy, Chile
Soft, round and approachable. Plum, black cherry and chocolate, with gentle tannins and a plush texture. It leads the blends of Bordeaux's Right Bank, including Pomerol and Saint-Émilion, and makes generous, easy-drinking reds all over the world.
Best known in Bordeaux, Australia, Spain
A Bordeaux blending grape used in small doses for colour, spice and structure. Deep violet, with blackcurrant, violets and firm tannins. In warmer places such as Australia and Spain it ripens fully and makes powerful wines on its own.
Italy
Italy's most celebrated wine region. Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano — all Sangiovese, all distinct. The Super Tuscans broke the rules in the 1970s and created an entirely new style. Hills, cypress trees, and wine that belongs on the table.
