A long-cherished vision of Elisabetta and her daughter Clara finds its fulfilment in this crescendo. This 100% Syrah builds on everything that the winery has achieved in recent years and for which it has gained a worldwide reputation. The best grapes, careful selection and sensitive, intelligent and innovative winemaking combined with a clearly recognisable signature and the proverbial fanaticism for quality. The grapes come from the estate's two vineyards, Pian di Fiora and La Vigna del Palo. Pian di Fiora is the cooler vineyard with just 5 hectares, the grapes are destemmed by hand and then fermented in 500 litre clay amphorae. The grapes from the east-facing vineyard La Vigna del Palo are fermented in open 500-litre barrels. The wines are then blended and matured in 300 litre barriques for a further 10 months before being bottled for a further 22 months.

Intense, deep red colour with dark ruby reflections. Fresh notes of red berries and spices on the nose, hints of black pepper. It is complex on the palate, with gripping tannins, a fine acid wire and a wonderfully balanced body. It has great Storage potential and is the classic meditation wine for us in terms of impression and expression. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pure Syrah in top form, with a scent of stone fruit and blackberries, followed by black pepper, liquorice and tobacco; the acidity and the fine-meshed tannin are in harmony, the finish is long and multi-faceted." Vinum

"Aromas of berries, dried meat, stems and flowers with hints of raw meat and cedar. Medium-bodied, polished and refined. Fresh finish. Fermented in amphorae and aged in puncheons." James Suckling

"The 2021 Syrah Le Pupille is another impressive wine in this range from Fattoria le Pupille. The Syrah here is strongly marked by the signatures of the estate, such that varietal Syrah character is not especially evident. Readers will find a dark, resonant wine packed with character. Black fruit, lavender, licorice, smoke and game build over time, filling out the layers in this decidedly ample coastal Syrah. There's a touch of new oak, but it works so well here. There's certainly a lot to like." Vinous
