San Felice Pugnitello Toscana 2015

2015 will be remembered as one of the warmest in recent years; to a mild winter and a spring with regular rainfall, succeeded a hot summer with rare precipitations. Good weather conditions allowed a good quantity and excellent quality production, with perfect phenolic maturation in all vineyards, guaranteeing wines suitable for long aging.

Made with rare native grape Pugnitello, this opens with subtle aromas of tobacco, French oak, blackberry and leather. Smooth and tight, the taut, austere palate offers dried cherry, oak-driven spice and crushed herb set against compact close-grained tannins that grip the close. Give it time several more years to unclench, then drink to capture the remaining fruit richness.
