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 wood. Medium-bodied, polished and refined. Fresh finish. Fermented in amphorae and matured in puncheons." James Suckling

"The 2021 Syrah Le Pupille is another impressive wine in this series from Fattoria le Pupille. The Syrah here is strongly characterised by the winery's signatures, so the varietal character of the Syrah is not particularly obvious. The harvestwill find a dark, sonorous wine full of character. Black fruits, lavender, liquorice, smoke and game develop over time and fill out the layers of this decidedly lush coastal Syrah. There's a hint of new oak, but it works very well here. There's certainly a lot to like." Vinous

"The wine is precise and pointed, showing an elegant yet profound character as dark fruit leads into mineral notes, incense and a subtle hint of citronella. There is a medieval personality to the palate, layered with chocolate and spice evocative of panforte, giving the wine both warmth and depth. With 30% whole stems used in fermentation, the tannins display a chalky, sweet and beautifully polymerized texture, carrying excellent tension through a mid-weight finish." Wine Advocate
