Elisabetta Geppetti is the head of Fattoria Le Pupille, a family run winery located in the Maremma region along Tuscany's southern coast. She took over the estate in 1985 at just 20 years old and played an important role in elevating the region to international prominence by producing one of the first "Super Tuscan" wines with her flagship "Saffredi" blend. She also became the first president of the Morellino di Scansano consortium in addition to being its most important producer (Scansano is the medieval hilltop village where the estate is located and "Morellino" is the local name for the sangiovese grape). Today, she runs the operation with her children Clara and Ettore. "Le Pupille" Morellino di Scansano is the most important wine to the family in terms of production and a proper intro to the house style. It's made from 90% sangiovese and 10% ciliegolo & alicante. It's medium bodied with crunchy red fruit, spice and smooth tannins and will pair well with a bean soup like Ribollita.
