The story
The estate is linked to Elisabetta Geppetti, who transformed a family estate in the Maremma into a benchmark for quality wine production. The flagship wine, Saffredi, was born from a project to create a great Maremma wine with the support of leading oenological expertise. The family's work later expanded with new labels also overseen by the next generation.
