Pugnitello is an ancient Tuscan native grape variety, whose name (little fist) refers to the shape of its cluster. Following its rediscovery, it has been researched, in collaboration with the universities of Florence and Pisa, in San Felice’s experimental vineyard. The wine is the fruit of 20 years of study and experimentation focused on saving native Tuscan grapes from extinction. Pugnitello is noteworthy for its distinctive characteristics, smoothness, and full-bodied concentration.

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.

The 2021 vintage was characterized by a regular seasonal pattern. Spring rains promoted vegetative growth and ensured crucial water reserves for the summer. Only a brief halt in bud growth was caused by below-average temperatures after Easter. From a health perspective, there was no pressure from fungal diseases. The summer was mostly dry with consistent summer temperatures and a significant nighttime temperature fluctuation that aided grape ripening. The harvest was in line with previous years, with high-quality and healthy grapes
