Interesting wine. Some sort of semi obscure Tuscan grape sometimes used for blending in Chianti. Very very juicy - maybe too much so. Pretty light, but with great fruit and a surprisingly long finish. Good acid, very little in the way of tannins.

Editing up to 9.0 with a bit more air. Fleshes out in a nice way. — 3 years ago

Amazing wine for $12! The Pugnitello in this gives it a richer, juicy, fleshy presence than typical CC. — 8 years ago

Great bold and dry Italian find, comes closest to a Cabernet Sauvignon - we had 2013 vintage which was amazingly powerful — 11 years ago

Brunello in disguise.
Mostly Sangiovese with as they say a small amount of Pugnitello.
Raised up in med toast barrique and tonneaux. I decanted 3 hrs.
N: Big, warm, Black cherry and Liquorice nose.You can sense the wood but it’s not intrusive. Red flowers/ Geraniums, whiff of vanilla.
P:Cherry bomb, souis bois, dirt,( in the best way) charcoal, pencil lead, nice tannic grip, beautiful acid balance. More black/red flowers. Long finish.
Not as “bright “ as many Chianti, rides the “ darkness” of Brunello, weight in between. — 4 years ago

90% Pugnitello and 10% Sangiovese. My first experience with Pugnitello, I think. Really interesting wine; kind of reminds me of a Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Great with mushrooms. — 10 years ago

Earthy and bold. I thought it smelled a bit musty, like a forest floor. Dark red berries. My friend said it smelled like a forest berry pie. Full bodied and not as dry as I expected. Jammy. — 3 years ago
