Tasting notes
From a cool and rainy vintage, the 2014 Saffredi is drinking beautifully right now and is a wine that always showed an immediate drinking style even when it first came to market. It offers an especially fresh quality of fruit with resolved tannins over a streamlined mouthfeel. I have always been a fan of 2014, a vintage that was indeed challenging but that brought a very elegant, supple and lithe group of wines from Tuscany. This wine has developed and improved since I first tasted it years ago.

Offers good depth and translucence in the mid-weight style of the year. Grilled herb, lavender, plum, menthol and sage are some of the many nuances that are woven together in this distinctly mid-weight Saffredi. Although a touch slender, as so many wines are in this vintage, the 2014 Saffredi has quite a bit of staying power and overall persistence. As is so often the case with wines from cooler years, time in the glass does wonders here.
