Tasting notes
This, too, is a beautiful wine that is holding up superbly. The Fattoria le Pupille 2009 Saffredi wraps smoothly over the palate with a long finish and lasting richness. The bouquet offers evolved black fruit aromas that are folded within spice, sweet oak and smoke. Thanks to its intact structure and freshness, this vintage remains velvety in texture and holds to the palate. It still has good runway to age.

The 2009 Saffredi comes across as a bit subdued at this stage. Dark red cherries, licorice, tobacco and new leather meld together in this supple Saffredi. Overall, the 2009 looks like a fairly restrained and accessible Saffredi, with neither the structure nor the opulence of the truly great vintages.

Anticipated maturity: 2014-2027. ||Le Pupille is one of the most fascinating wineries in Italy. Every few years seems to bring a revitalization. The newest development is the arrival of consulting oenologist Luca D’Attoma. It will be interesting to see where Le Pupille goes in the coming years. I think it is safe to say D’Attoma is the hottest winemaker in Tuscany right now.||A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620 Wine Advocate.June, 2012
