Pugnitello - An ancient grape from Tuscany. Very good, smooth but lots of structure.

Light and bright palette. Herbal perfume nose. Raisiny fruit. Pretty good depth on the finish....and yet, not quite sure what to make of it.

Bought a bottle at Eataly where they claimed this grape was saved from extinction. Black cherry nose and fruity finish. Delicious and unique.

McCarthy & Schiering, $26
Dark concentrated purplish red color. Tons of oak on the nose with raisin-like dark fruit. Tastes similar, lots of oak and tobacco notes that almost gives it a bitter quality, followed by a jammy blackberry. Very smooth and soft while also having high grippy tannins, really nice balance of acidity. This is a bit too oaked for my personal tastes but still really enjoyed it nonetheless, very well-made wine and was a pleasure trying such an unusual grape varietal.
