Pugnitello
2022
Grilled herbs, black stone fruits, scorched earth, tobacco and game are some of the notes that take shape in the 2010 Pugnitello. The searing tannins need more time to soften, but there is plenty of complexity in the glass still waiting to emerge. Sage, rosemary, dried rose petals and dark red cherries add nuance on the long, textured finish

The 2010 Pugnitello da San Felice is the latest edition of what I think is one of Tuscany’s most interesting wines. Not many producers can boast a 100% expression of this little-known grape. Pugnitello is fermented on its skins, followed by 18 months in French oak. The results are earthy and spicy with veins of dark prune and plum followed by wet terracotta, grilled herb and tangy spice. This is an interesting wine from a food pairing point of view: I could imagine it served with game meat or stews.

Offering a dark well of black cherry, blackberry, leather and spice flavors, this red features formidable tannins but remains balanced, with bright, saturated fruit and a rich texture. The grip holds up to grilled steak.
