Fattoria Le PupilleTuscany, Italy
Why you'll love it
Saffredi 2020 has garnered high praise from critics, with James Suckling awarding it 98 points and Falstaff rating it 99 points. It's a standout vintage that showcases the excellence of Maremma's terroir.
A rich and structured Super Tuscan blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 10% Petit Verdot. It offers intense aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, complemented by notes of dark chocolate, lavender, and spice. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins and a long, elegant finish.
Perfectly pairs with grilled meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses.
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.
