As a contrast to small volume producer Elio Grasso, Fattoria Le Pupille cranks out hundreds of thousands of bottles of wine each year, but fortunately, just like Grasso, each bottle is terrific. Fattoria Le Pupille is a Maremma estate run by Elisabetta Geppetti and Stefano Rizzi (along with consultation from winemaker Christian La Sommer of Chateau Lafite). In addition to the Morellino di Scansano, the estate also produces a single vineyard Morellino, a "Super-Maremma" Cabernet blend and a dessert wine. The Morellino di Scansano DOC is located in southern Tuscany near the commune of Scansano. The wine is predominately Sangiovese with small amounts of Alicante and Malvasia blended in. The wine is deep, ruby-red in color and wonderfully fragrant. Deliciously fruity on the palate. Velvety smooth texture and finish. Vinified and aged in Stainless. Over 300,000 bottles produced annually. Synthetic cork.
