Saffredi Maremma IGT Saffredi takes its name from, and is dedicated to, Elisabetta’s father-in-law and mentor “Fredi.” This is a classic Bordeaux blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with just a touch of Syrah to add further complexity and a spicy note. The wine is aged in new French oak barriques for 18 months. This cru has become one of the benchmarks of the Super Tuscan category.

Solalto Maremma IGT It was Elisabetta Geppetti’s dream to create a wine in the Maremma that was affected by noble rot— as homage to the great wines of Sauternes. This sweet wine is obtained from the late harvesting of Gewürztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc, and Semillon from vineyards in Scansano. The wine name is a reference to a drawing done by one of Elisabetta’s five children, her daughter Clara.
