Grape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot

Winemaking: The fermentation takes place in inox steel tanks at max 28ºC. The malolactic fermentation follows the alcoholic fermentation. The wine stays for 18 months in barrels, 75% new and 25% of second passage.

Saffredi is born in 1987 from the vineyard planted around Magliano 7 years before, by Elisabetta’s mentor, Fredi, and his dear friend Giacomo Tachis. Fredi was never able to taste the fruits of his vineyard, for this Elisabetta decided to dedicate this wine to the grandfather of her daughters. After its release, Saffredi becomes very quickly the legend it still is today.

Sensory Analysis
The ruby red colour is impenetrable, with crimson reflections, which characterize this important wine. The majestic body is highlighted already by its density in the
glass.

The scents are of red fruits, redcurrant and blackberry, blending with the spicy aromas of clove, cinnamon and a light fragrance of vanilla.

In the taste, the rotund and velvety body wraps up all senses and it balances with an excellent tannin strength. The long persistence allows to fully relish the aromatic complexity upon which the spices predominate.

Matches
Perfect for important and elaborate courses, red meat and wild fowl.
