20 Rene Gabriel
(50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45 % Merlot, 5 % Syrah). Sattes Granat-Rubin. Das Bouquet ist noch roh, die Früchte wirken wie frisch gepflückt und gehackt, Cassis, Himbeeren, Walderdbeeren, feine Rauchnoten (das zeigt Tiefe), Lakritze, dunkles Edelholz und ein Hauch Kaffee. Stoffiger Gaumen, <br/>sehr dicht, konzentriert ohne streng zu wirken, ausgeglichene Adstringenz, helles Malz über dem sämigen Extrakt, gebündeltes Finale, im Gaumen wieder ein Nektar von extrem konzentrierter Frucht. <br/>Zeigt jetzt schon eine fraglose Perfektion. Auch wenn es bombigere Nebenbuhler geben wird. Das ist fraglose Maremma-Weltklasse. 20/20 2015 - 2030.

Here's yet another stunning wine from Fattoria le Pupille. The 2011 Saffredi (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot) opens to thick, dark extraction and large scale aromatic intensity. This was a warm vintage and you can feel the softness in the ripe cherry and blackberry flavors offered by the Merlot. The Cabernet component is also evident thanks to pressed rose and grilled Mediterranean herb. Saffredi is a wine built for long cellar aging, yet this vintage can also be readily consumed in the near term. <br/>
Producer
Fattoria le Pupille
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.”
