Description
Le Pupille is located in the south of the Tuscan Maremma, in the province of Grosseto, a region best known for the Sangiovese-based Morellino di Scansano. Geppetti’s first vintage was 1985. At the time, Le Pupille was a small winery with just 6 hectares of vineyards and was really more of a hobby than a pure commercial venture. The family had close ties with Giacomo Tachis, who suggested grafting Cabernet Sauvignon onto existing Sangiovese rootstocks. The first Saffredis (1987-1990) were 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the original estate’s original vineyard holdings.
Quality and consistency increased noticeably when Christian Le Sommer, former winemaker at Chateau Latour, took over winemaking with the 2000 vintage. Le Sommer introduced malolactic fermentation in steel, which is one of the reasons the post-2000 wines retain incredible freshness, aromatic complexity and nuance.
The 2022 RosaMati Rosato from Fattoria Le Pupille is made from 100% Syrah, a grape variety that the winery was one of the pioneers of in Tuscany. The grapes are grown in chalky clay soils. The harvested grapes are crushed and pressed. This process releases the juice from the grapes. The juice is left in contact with the grape skins for a few hours. This gives the wine its very pale colour. The juice is then fermented. During fermentation, yeast consumes the sugars in the grape juice and produces alcohol. The wine is matured for 6 months in a steel tank. This process allows the wine to develop its flavours. After maturation in the steel tank, the wine is aged for 2 weeks in a tonneau barrel. Barrel aging can add complexity and additional flavours to the wine. Finally, the wine is bottled and sealed with a DIAM stopper.
