Elisabetta Geppetti’s innovating idea of producing a great Syrah in Maremma began to take shape as early as the year 2000, when she planted two vineyards to this noble variety at Fattoria Le Pupille. Years of quality selection in the vineyards fol- lowed, all of which largely confirmed that the path she had chosen was correct. The outcome was Le Pupille, a wine that embodied a yet-unexplored aspect of the Ma- remma’s winemaking potential and expressed at the same time the typical traits of Fattoria Le Pupille – elegance and finesse.
