Deep, shiny red colour. A beguiling blend of dark cherries, plums, mocha, liquorice, leather and cloves on the nose. Very compact and powerful fruit on the palate, characterised by deep intensity, dense layers and a velvety texture. Very focussed, balanced and certainly needs a few more years to develop fully. Outstanding elegance and length. In short: an absolute beauty! SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Saffredi has survived the rigours of the growing season well. Strong Cabernet Sauvignon makes a strong first impression. Deep and powerful, with plenty of persistence, the 2022 has so much to offer. Gravel, incense, lavender, mocha and dried herbs are just some of the many aromas and flavours that open up with a little coaxing. The 2022 is a very young wine that needs at least a few more years in the bottle, but it is still very captivating." Vinous

"This is one of the few wines produced on the Tuscan coast that interprets the vintage in such an outstanding way. The Fattoria le Pupille 2022 Saffredi skilfully plays with the elegance and fruity brilliance of the vintage, while exploiting its freshness and slightly leaner feel. The wine is nuanced and multi-layered with fine details reminiscent of wild berries, spices, blue flowers and blood oranges. In my opinion, the 2022 stands out from almost all other Saffredi vintages. This is a new direction for the wine that we can all embrace with joy." Wine Advocate

"Menthol-infused dark berry aromas open the door to an intense and juicy mouthful of precisely wrought red and black berries and cherries. Wonderful lip-smacking sapidity and finely integrated tannins complete the package. The 2022 Saffredi is the result of the estate's hard work and it has paid dividends. Elisabetta Geppetti's son, Ettore – in just his third vintage overseeing the winemaking without the experienced hand of ex-consultant Luca d'Attoma – has beautifully interpreted the vintage. He tells me that, unusually, it took the team three harvests at different times to obtain the freshness evident in the wine. It's a stunner. Wow!" Decanter

"This is a young wine with enormous depth and multi-layered fruit. It is full-bodied with notes of eucalyptus, lavender and sage and hints of matchsticks and oranges. The finish is straightforward and taut, with an energetic finish. Very Saffredi-like." James Suckling
