Wine Critic Reviews
The 2012 Saffredi captures all the potential I sensed last year. Fresh, vibrant and beautifully delineated in the glass, the 2012 speaks to balance above all else. All the elements meld together effortlessly. The flavors are bold, dark and incisive, while attractive floral and spice notes add an attractive upper register. Still very primary, the 2012 naturally needs time in bottle to fully come together. A final black of red-fleshed stone fruits leaves a positive impression. The 2012 spent 22 months in French oak, 70% new.

The Fattoria le Pupille 2012 Saffredi is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot and 30% Merlot. Syrah is not part of the blend in this vintage. Indeed, the bouquet is very driven by the Petit Verdot with aromas of cola, balsam herb and dark fruit. The Merlot adds the softness and sweet richness that defines the wine in terms of mouthfeel. Overall, I feel that this vintage is not as focused as the 2013.
