Tasting Note:
Pugnitello is a rare red grape variety native to Tuscany. The grape gets its name, Italian for “little fist,” from the appearance of the vine’s small bunches of berries. Pugnitello has seen a resurgence in recent years due to efforts from the University of Florence and small estates like Roccapesta. This is a deep red wine, full and intense, its sweeter berry notes complemented by earthy tones.
