Deep, shiny red colour. A beguiling blend of dark cherries, plums, mocha, liquorice, leather and cloves on the nose. Very compact and powerful fruit on the palate, characterised by deep intensity, dense layers and a velvety texture. Very focussed, balanced and certainly needs a few more years to develop fully. Outstanding elegance and length. In short: an absolute beauty! SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Saffredi is still far too young a powerhouse with a finely contoured body, a decathlete in terms of stature, but it also has a few dancing elements. Dense and voluptuous, with the typical Mediterranean richness and herbal spiciness, wonderfully floral after violets and lavender, fine chocolate, leather and liquorice. Remains linear and disciplined in the course despite its velvety and melting fullness, as if the powerhouse were being guided into a tight corset, gripping freshness in the final. Leave to mature for at least 5 years." Weinwisser

"Medium ruby colour with garnet-red nuances. Elegant bouquet with notes of fully ripe heart cherry, some olive paste and forest floor, as well as delicate roasted flavours. Silky on the palate, carried by mouthwatering acidity and finely woven tannins, lingers for a long time." Falstaff

"An extremely successful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot, with notes of blackberries and cassis. The fine-grained tannins are supported by fresh acidity and minerality, then plenty of length and juice. A great wine!" Vinum

"The 2022 Saffredi has survived the rigours of the growing season well. Strong Cabernet Sauvignon makes a strong first impression. Deep and powerful, with plenty of persistence, the 2022 has so much to offer. Gravel, incense, lavender, mocha and dried herbs are just some of the many aromas and flavours that open up with a little coaxing. The 2022 is a very young wine that needs at least a few more years in the bottle, but it is still very captivating." Vinous

"This is one of the few wines produced on the Tuscan coast that interprets the vintage in such an outstanding way. The Fattoria le Pupille 2022 Saffredi skilfully plays with the elegance and fruity brilliance of the vintage, while exploiting its freshness and slightly leaner feel. The wine is nuanced and multi-layered with fine details reminiscent of wild berries, spices, blue flowers and blood oranges. In my opinion, the 2022 stands out from almost all other Saffredi vintages. This is a new direction for the wine that we can all embrace with joy." Wine Advocate

"Menthol-infused dark berry flavours open the door to an intense and juicy mouthful of precisely crafted red and black berries and cherries. A wonderful savouriness and finely integrated tannins round off the package. The Saffredi 2022 is the result of the winery's hard work, which has paid off. Elisabetta Geppetti's son Ettore - who is only in his third vintage managing the winemaking without the experienced hand of former consultant Luca d'Attoma - has interpreted the vintage beautifully. He tells me that, unusually, the team needed three harvests at different times to achieve the freshness that the wine radiates. It's an amazing wine. Wow!" Decanter

"This is a young wine with enormous depth and multi-layered fruit. It is full-bodied with notes of eucalyptus, lavender and sage and hints of matchsticks and oranges. The finish is straightforward and taut, with an energetic finish. Very Saffredi-like." James Suckling
