SAN FELICE
Pugnitello 2010
- 90 points -
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.
À propos de Wine Advocate
The Wine Advocate was a bi-monthly publication and Robert Parker Wine Advocate continues this tradition, although articles and reviews are now published every week. The main goal is to publish regionally focused reports, which mainly offer wine reviews of new wine releases, but they also produce important vintage retrospectives and occasionally single-label verticals and producer profiles. Since 2019, Robert Parker Wine Advocate has been a wholly owned subsidiary of the Michelin Group.
