Parker about Saffredi 2003
This blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot is exuberant and explosive. The 2020 Saffredi reveals a very ripe and rich interpretation of this iconic wine made by Elisabetta Geppetti and her family. The blend of fruit is the same, but 2020 actually sees less oak intervention to allow that dark fruit to shine through. There is blackberry, perfumed rose, dried apricot, spice and sweet cinnamon. In all, the wine offers immediate fruit and a vertical delivery of flavors. Finding that combination of wine versus oak is not easy, Elisabetta tells me.

The Saffredi 2003 is an outstanding wine from the renowned Italian wine region of Maremma in Tuscany. Produced by the Fredi wine family, this wine is distinguished by its high quality and complexity.
The Saffredi 2003 is a deep, intense ruby red in color, indicating its rich concentration and maturity. The bouquet is complex and layered, with aromas of ripe dark fruits such as black cherries, blackberries, and plums. These fruit aromas are complemented by notes of spice, leather, and a hint of tobacco. Over time, additional nuances of chocolate and roasted coffee bean notes emerge.
On the palate, the Saffredi 2003 is full-bodied and powerful, with an excellent balance between fruit, tannins, and acidity. The tannins are well integrated and give the wine a smooth texture.
