92 Pts Wine Spectator |
"Aromas of wild fruits, flowers and light raisin. Full-bodied, with a Port-like character. Silky and long. Stylish and decadent. Exotic. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Alicante. Best after 2008. 2,000 cases made." -92 points Wine Spectator |
Description:
"Deep red. Roasted red fruits, dark chocolate, smoke and truffle on the high-toned nose, along with some oaky torrefaction. Wonderfully concentrated fruit flavors of black cherry and plum are further sweetened by a hint of chocolate oak. This thick, dense blend stays sharply delineated and fresh thanks to its firm, well-integrated acids. Finishes with smooth tannins and palate-staining length." -92 points- Ian D'Agata- International Wine Cellar
"Le Pupille's 2003 Saffredi (50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 15% Alicante) is simply gorgeous. Fat, opulent and open, it presents generous notes of super-ripe fruit, toasted oak and minerals with outstanding length as well as balance. Highly appealing even now, it will deliver much pleasure for next five to seven years, perhaps longer. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2015." -91 points- Antonio Galloni- Wine Advocate
VINEYARDS:
"The vineyards are 4 hectares and located 250 metres above sea level, west and north/west facing for the Merlot. The soil is moderately chalky with few organic substances and little clay. The vines were planted in 1980. Harvest starts halfway through September for the Merlot, followed by Alicante and ending with the Cabernet Sauvignon well into October." -Winery
VINIFICATION:
"Fermentation takes place in temperature controlled (max. 32 degrees C) stainless steel vats. Malolactic fermentation follows the alcoholic one. The wine subsequently rests for 18 months in 75% new and 25% second usage barriques. It is bottled after a light clarifying 24 months after the harvest and is put on the market 3 autumns later." -Winery
