Il Pugnitello is a wine obtained from the homonymous ancient variety from Tuscany. Il Pugnitello gives birth to a wine with an unusual aromatic profile, particular and intriguing.

This wine has one of the most intense colors that we have seen with nice violet nuances.
It's good acidity, the finesse and the pureness of the characteristic perfumes of this rare indigenous variety, make the Pugnitello a wine with a great personality shaped by its terroir of origin.
We usually have it just on it's own with bread an nice olive oil and maybe a bit of fleur de sel.
What is it made of ...
100% Pugnitello
The grapes are hand-picked then immediately sent to the cellar where a careful selection is made, both of the bunches and of the single grapes, on a double selection belt.
The grapes drop by gravitation into the tanks where they undergo a slow and gradual fermentation for about 25-30 days without the addition of selected yeasts. The wine evolves in 10hl-barrels for about 12 months and later in a bottle for at least an year.
Drink now and until 2020
