Morellino di Scansano Riserva Fattoria le Pupille Tasting Notes:
Deep, bright ruby red. Olfactory impact of blackberry and blueberry jam, blackcurrant and mint; opens on scents of Mediterranean scrub, blood orange, tobacco and black pepper. The entrance in the mouth is fresh and tasty; it shows a dynamic structure, imbued with a beautiful freshness in which the fine tannic texture provides an excellent basis for evolving at length in the bottle. Very persistent on citrus notes.

Fattoria Le Pupille
The Le Pupille farm is located in Istia d’Ombrone, a small village on the outskirts of Grosseto;
in 1985 Elisabetta Geppetti, at that time a young girl of 20, took the reins of the winery; thanks to her, in 1982 the winery’s first ‘official’ label came out, a Morellino Riserva vintage 1978. In 1987 it was the turn of Saffredi, the wine that made the excellence of Maremma known far beyond its borders, soon becoming a true jewel of Italian oenology.
Even today, the company is still expanding, continuing the pursuit of quality in Maremma.
