Question: Do you know the Pugnitello grape?
Answer: Yes an increasingly popular old Tuscan authoctonous (or indigenous) grape variety with small tight bunches that resemble a fist (“pugno”). Tried a 100% rich full one named Leopoldo from Fattoria Santa Vittoria but see it more as contributing to a blend with Sangiovese. Tasted this month from Rocca Di Montegrossi their organic 2013 Gran Selezione Vigneto San Marcellino with 7% Pugnitello “smoothing out” the 93% Sangiovese in this Chianti Classico DOCG.
A grape worth investigating.
