To visit Maremma is to look modern Italy in the eye. The once notorious coast of western Tuscany has completely gentrified and now produces some of Italy's finest wine. Known for its incredible Morellino di Scansano (its local Sangiovese), Fattoria le Pupille is world renown for their Saffredi, a beguiling blend made by Elisabetta Geppetti and her consulting winemaker Christian Le Sommer, once at the helm of Château Latour. South of Sassicaia and soaring 900 feet above the Tyrrhenian Sea, Fattoria le Pupille has westerly slopes to ripen each vintage perfectly. 2004 was arguably the best in living memory. Low yields concentrate the three varieties to dense complexity married by 18 months in barriques. Saffredi is a wine to stop you in your tracks and clear your mind of any concerns of the day. A perfect gift for the wine lover in your life, Saffredi takes one to wondrous places they've never been. Save $15 using the promo code below.
