Le Pupille is located in Grasseto, part of the larger Maremma region. Pupille sits roughly 30 miles southeast of Bolgheri, with a similar exposition, soil and weather. Owner Elisabetta Geppetti was gifted the winery at age 20 from her father-in-law, who wasn’t interested in winemaking! Ten years later she became the first woman to be president of an Italian consortium. Today, her oldest daughter Clara assists her. Girl Power!!!
The bouquet on this wine draws you in immediately to sit back and savor. I can’t imagine a more beautiful centerpiece than one I can have with dinner! Ultra-delicate notes of orange blossom, herbs, and tree fruit galore. The palate dances between elegant body and fresh acidity with a pepper-flecked exotic fruit finish. The winery recommends pairing with Fettuccini with pistacchio pesto or gnocchetti with lobster sauce, and I can’t argue with perfection.
James Suckling: 93 Points
“Lots of green melon, apples, crushed stones and flint on the nose. Medium-bodied with pretty depth of fruit and notes of spices, gunpowder, sliced apples and lemongrass. Flavorful finish. Deep but framed. Sauvignon blanc, petit manseng, traminer and semillon. Drink now.”
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
“Made with 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Petit Manseng, 10% Semillon and 10% Traminer, the Fattoria le Pupille 2023 Poggio Argentato is always a delicious treat and a great value buy. Petit Manseng adds freshness, and the other grapes contribute to a fragrant bouquet that is never cloying or too heavy. The wine walks a careful line between floral aromas, citrus and crushed limestone. There are elegant touches of petroleum jelly that add to the vertical lift of this focused, medium-bodied white.”
