Description
Pugnitello is an ancient Tuscan grape variety, (so called because of the shape of its bunch, reminiscent of a small fist), rediscovered and studied in collaboration with the Universities of Florence and Pisa in the experimental vineyards of San Felice (Vitiarium). The concrete fruit of 20 years of research and experimentation aimed at saving and enhancing native Tuscan vines destined for extinction. This pure version stands out for its originality and marked characteristics of softness and fleshiness.
