€ 29.00
The Pugnitello grape varietal derives its name from the Italian word pugno or fist due to the small dimension of the bunches, which contrast with its grand structure and great aging potential. A seductive wine with very ripe, dark fruit and lightly spiced aromas and a well-rounded structure and full mouthfeel. Its silky tannins and persistence evoke the oak barrels in which it was both vinified and left aging.
