Question: What is Pugnitello?
Answer: This word “Pugnitello” means “little fist” in Italian referring to the tight closed shape of the grape clusters of this rare indigenous Tuscan red variety. University research (Florence & Pisa) together with winery experiments have been instrumental in testing so many different native authoctonous grapes for their present day suitability for wine. Pugnitello has proven to be among the very best for revival and you can even see it named now on some wine labels including big supporter San Felice. Also Fattoria Santa Vittoria produces their excellent Leopoldo wine from 100% Pugnitello. Check out this interesting and increasing in popularity quality grape.
