Fattoria Le Pupille - Nestled in the wild landscapes of Tuscany’s Maremma, Fattoria Le Pupille began as a Gentili family farm, named “Le Pupille” for its two historic hilltop properties overlooking the Argentario Promontory. Originally devoted to wheat, olive oil, and livestock, the estate’s vineyards were modest until the 1960s, when Alfredo Gentili began producing small quantities of wine for family and friends. By 1978, he became one of the first producers of official Morellino di Scansano, guided by the vision of renowned oenologist Giacomo Tachis.

The estate’s transformation came under Elisabetta Geppetti, Gentili’s daughter-in-law. With a deep love for the land and a pioneering spirit, she worked with Tachis to graft Cabernet Sauvignon alongside Sangiovese, elevating the quality of Morellino and creating Saffredi in 1987—a Bordeaux-style blend dedicated to her late father-in-law. From its earliest vintages, Saffredi earned acclaim for its complexity and elegance, establishing Le Pupille as a leading Maremma winery.
