    The Riserva embodies the roots of Fattoria Le Pupille – it is the very first wine the estate produced and marketed. Originally launched in 1978 as "Rosso di Pereta", it became, with the establishment of the Morellino di Scansano appellation regulations, the cornerstone of a terroir that Elisabetta Geppetti led to international recognition with passion and vision. As the first woman to head the Consorzio Morellino di Scansano, she shaped not only the appellation but the entire wine culture of the Maremma. Sangiovese (90%) blended with Cabernet Sauvignon (10%) from the La Carla, Maiano, Bozzino and Vecchie Pupille, at altitudes of 50 to 250 metres. The soils vary from clay-silt to sandy loam with a significant limestone-marl component. After 25 to 30 days of maceration at 26 degrees, the wine is aged for twelve months in Slavonian oak casks with a capacity of 20 to 40 hectolitres.

    The wine presents a deep ruby red colour with violet highlights: intense aromas of ripe wild berries, blood orange, sweet cherry and aromatic herbs, underpinned by liquorice, black pepper and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is full-bodied and enveloping, with a powerful structure and fine-grained tannins that combine elegance with southern warmth. The finish is persistent, with hints of rhubarb and myrtle – a Morellino with depth, ageing potential and that balanced intensity that bears Elisabetta Geppetti's hallmark. SUPERIORE.DE

    "This was Le Pupille's very first wine, and even today it remains a cornerstone of the range. This 2023 Riserva is one of Morellino's standout wines, offering juicy dark cherries with chocolate and Mediterranean herbs on a slightly chewy, wonderfully fresh palate. It is very drinkable now, but will also age well for a few years in the bottle." Decanter

    "It tastes simply delicious. You'll want to drink it straight away. Medium-bodied, with crisp fruit flavours and powdery tannins that gently coat the palate, leaving a sweet, fruity finish with hints of terracotta and orange peel. Drink now." James Suckling
