Tasting note:

Dark ruby red in colour. The aromas reveal hints of ripe berries, blood orange, maraschino cherries and aromatic herbs; fading into tones of liquorice, black peppercorns and dark chocolate. The flavour is full, enveloping and powerful, with a very fine tannic structure. Persistent finish with flavours of rhubarb and myrtle.

Fattoria Le Pupille:

The founder of Le Pupille, Elisabetta Gepetti, is not only the visionary of viticulture in Maremma, the southern part of Tuscany, but also a passionate ambassador for the region. The energetic winemaker was instrumental in founding the Morellino di Scansano Consortium in 1992 and subsequently became the first woman ever to be president of an Italian wine consortium.

Of the 420 hectares of the Le Pupille estate, 75 hectares are dedicated to vineyards. On the rest, the original landscape of olive trees, wheat fields and forests is maintained. Le Pupille bottles around half a million bottles. You can be sure of the exceptional quality across all price categories.
