Tuscany’s Next Generation at Fattoria Le Pupille

Ettore Arturo Rizzi is steering thoughtful improvements

Ettore Arturo Rizzi made an immediate impact with his debut vintage at Fattoria Le Pupille, the 2019 harvest. In this exceptional vintage, Saffredi, the estate’s flagship wine, bolstered its reputation as one of Tuscany’s finest Bordeaux-style blends, having consistently earned outstanding and in the best years classic ratings on the Wine Spectator 100-point scale. The Toscana Saffredi 2019 earned the No. 8 spot on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 in 2022.

Just 22 years old when he made Saffredi ’19, Ettore Arturo’s talent, passion and commitment was immediately evident. Get to know this talented son of Tuscany, and how he plans further Le Pupille’s greatness while preparing the business for the future.
