The 1998 Saffredi exhibits a medium dark ruby color, and depth. It is it is significantly lighter than recent vintages of this offering. It reveals lead pencil, earth, and red currant aromas with a notion of flowers in the background. Drink this soft 1998 over the next 3-4 years. Shrewd value-seekers should seek out wines from the Morellino di Scansano appellation as this is increasingly becoming a source for tasty as well as, for the moment, underpriced reds. The American importer for Fattoria Le Pupille has recently changed and I am unaware of their current representative.
