Fattoria Le Pupille, Saffredi Maremma, Toscana 2002

Description

Saffredi from Fattoria Le Pupille is a Bordeaux-style blend produced with carefully selected grapes, harvested, depending on the vintage and characteristics of the grape varieties, between mid-September and mid-October. Once the grapes reach the cellar, they undergo destemming and fermentation in stainless steel containers at controlled temperatures with maceration on the skins for about 25 days. The wine is then racked, and the aging process takes place for 18 months in first-passage French oak barrels, accounting for approximately 75% of the total. After the maturation period, the various grape varieties are blended, which may slightly vary from vintage to vintage depending on the desired final result.
