Description
A dense purplish hue, with a remarkably rich nose, offering cinnamon, clove, wild fruit preserves, and tobacco leaf. Velvety-smooth, ultra-savory palate that magnificently reproduces the fragrances encountered on the nose. Perfect with meat-sauced first courses, roast guinea-fowl, and veal.

This is a beautifully made wine and a special expression of one of Tuscany’s great under-the-radar grapes. The 2019 Pugnitello stands proud as a monovarietal wine thanks to its dark concentration, soft ripeness, blackberry preserves, earth, black truffle and crushed rose. The full-bodied mouthfeel is extracted but also soft, giving this wine a medium-term drinking window. In fact, it is preferable to drink this bottle up until the 10-year mark when that velvety primary fruit is in its prime.

Very spicy with blackberries, bark and moss on the nose, as well as dried flowers. It’s medium-bodied with firm tannins and a fresh finish. Lively and solid. Dark fruit at the end, as well as musk and hints of cedar and nuts. Drinkable now, but better in two or three years.
