This lot comprises six bottles of 2004 vintage Saffredi produced by Fattoria le Pupille from the Maremma Toscana region in Italy.

Tuscan vines grow in the cultural landscape of central Italy, a region not only regarded as the birthplace of the Renaissance and with that European culture in general. It’s no wonder then that the agriculture of winegrowing here has produced genuine wine types and distinct styles. Tuscany is home to some fantastic wines. It is like a wild bull, tamed by the Etruscans many years ago. Its beauty has always attracted and fascinated foreigners. It is a landscape that can be as captivating as Mona Lisa’s smile. One cannot fathom it, melt into it and be thrown back out without understanding what once came to blossom here. However, fascination alone does not result in good winegrowing – it is the art of planting vines in the ground and producing exceptionally nuanced wines from their fruits. Tuscany can be divided into two main parts: the historical main area of Florence and Siena and, in its wilder south, the Maremma – historically a poor farming region that has experienced a winegrowing boom over the past two decades. The first wine dynasties of Italy, the Polizianos, Antinoris and Frescobaldis, came to the Maremma towards the end of the 1990s, when land in Chianti Classico became very expensive.

The 2004 vintage Saffredi was rated 96 points by Antonio Galloni for Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate in 2011. James Suckling rated the wine 97 points in 2007.

The fill levels are excellent (into neck). The original wooden case, labels and capsules are in perfect condition.
