Morellino di Scansano 2021 75cl

Fattoria Le Pupille is one of the most fascinating wineries in Italy. This southern Maremma estate was well-established before the recent rush of new arrivals to the region. While quality continues to skyrocket with renascences every few years of so, the 65-hectare vineyard produces complex, weighted and structured wines that will be difficult for newer producers to emulate. Their top wine is a single-vineyard Super-Tuscan blend of the Bordelais varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. The woman behind Le Pupille’s success and even Morellino di Scansano’s impressive reputation, is owner Elisabetta Geppetti. Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate even goes as far to say, “There is always a single face that identifies a region: A sole producer with the charisma and communicative talents required to perform the ambassadorial duties that bring a relatively obscure wine area to the world stage. For the Maremma, that person is Elisabetta Geppetti.”
