A joint effort from the mother and daughter team of winemakers, Elisabetta Geppetti and Clara Gentili, Le Pupille is the result of their passion for Syrah. The grapes come from the two estate-owned vineyards Pian di Fiora and La Vigna del Palo and are meticulously fermented and blended, including the use of clay amphorae. On the nose, fresh notes of red berries and spices plus a touch of black pepper. The palate is complex, with gripping tannins, a fine acidity and a well-balanced body.

The 2016 Syrah is a dense, potent wine. Wild cherry, game, dried herbs, menthol, licorice and coffee are front and center. This is an especially rich style. Then, again we are in Maremma. The 2016 is a bit wild, but in the best sense of the term. It will offer its finest drinking alongside similarly hearty cuisine. It was fermented in a mix of terracotta and cocciopesto, then moved into oak for 2-3 months before going into bottle, where it spent more than two years before being released.Antonio Galloni1st January 2021
