It was in the mid-1980s that Elisabetta Geppetti, only 20 years old at the time, inherited Fattoria Le Pupille from her father-in-law, who wasn’t interested in winemaking. Today, 30 years later, she is widely considered the woman who put Morellino di Scansano on the map of the world’s greatest appellations and a true pioneer of the Maremma, today one of Tuscany's best winemaking coastal areas.
She is also credited with giving the world a benchmark Super Tuscan, her family’s Saffredi, a label that has recently celebrated three decades of top scores and reviews, often listed in Wine Spectators top 100 (Most recently #8) and always awarded 90+ scores from Suckling, Galloni and Parker.
It is a true honor to host Fattoria Le Pupille at Donato Enoteca, join us for a spectacular Tuscan feast prepared by Chef Donato and Gianluca paired with the superb wines from Le Pupille, and do not miss your chance to taste one of the best Super Tuscan ever made, "Fattoria Le Pupille Safreddi Rosso"
