“Saffredi … is now among the very finest wines being produced anywhere in Italy.” Antonio Galloni Le Pupille’s newly released Saffredi 2016 continues a run of very strong vintages from this remarkable estate in the Maremma, 2015 and 2016 are the best back to back vintages in Tuscany since 2006 and 2007. The 2016 Saffredi has an added element of freshness due to cool summer nights, this imbues the wine with a great potential for ageing.
Elisabetta Geppetti and her extraordinarily talented consultant, Luca d’Attoma, are now making a Super Tuscan that has come to define the region. Suckling has gone so far as to hail it as “the Lafite of Tuscany”!
Often spoken of in the same breath as Sassicaia, Ornellaia and Tignanello, Saffredi is still a fraction of the price of its famous neighbours.
The 2016 vintage promises to be one of the greatest ever and James Suckling’s 99 points is the first review to appear. The wine is indeed terrific, displaying all the hallmarks of sensuous Cabernet with an irresistible Tuscan accent.
We have no doubt that Saffredi 2016 will be one of the most desirable wines in the market this vintage and we expect even more critical acclaim in the months ahead.
Allocations will be fiercely contested. This Saffredi 2016 from “one of the most fascinating wineries in Italy” (Antonio Galloni) deserves your attention now, while you have the chance. Priority will be given to customers buying other wines from the Fattoria Le Pupille range, contact your account manager to discuss.
“I think it is safe to say d’Attoma is the hottest winemaker in Tuscany right now.” Antonio Galloni
