Saffredi Maremma Toscana
฿฿฿
Rated 98/100 by James Suckling (top 6% of their reviews).
From our sommelier team
A deep, polished Bordeaux-style blend from the Tuscan Maremma coast, built around Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Petit Verdot and a touch of Alicante — dense black-fruit and violet character, structured tannin, and a long, spiced finish that is one of the benchmark Super Tuscans of its region.
Signature pairings
- Grilled beef short rib or braised beef cheek — The wine's dense tannin and black-fruit concentration are built for red meat with char and richness, a classic match for structured Bordeaux-style blends.
- Thai grilled beef salad (nuea yang) with reduced chili and no raw lime overload (เนื้อย่างน้ำตก (ลดความเผ็ด)) — Char-grilled beef can bridge to Thai cuisine, but this wine's firm tannins clash with high chili heat and heavy fish-sauce funk — a tamed, herb-forward version works better than the traditional fiery nam tok.
Fattoria Le Pupille Saffredi is a Maremma-based Super Tuscan red that blends 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot into a medium-full-bodied wine of classical structure and depth. The primary character opens with ripe blackcurrant and dark plum, supported by black cherry notes that give the wine immediate appeal. Cedar and vanilla oak from winemaking provide secondary complexity, while subtle tobacco and earth undertones suggest age-worthiness and tertiary development.
The wine's medium tannin and balanced acidity make it a versatile food companion—equally at home with grilled red meat, braised beef dishes, or aged cheeses. A food-friendly expression of Tuscan winemaking tradition.
