WINE DESCRIPTION

The Corte Alla Flora Pugnitello is a unique red wine from Tuscany, crafted from the rare Pugnitello grape, a native varietal that has been revived by dedicated winemakers. Grown in the rolling hills of the Montepulciano region, this wine benefits from the area's warm days and cool nights, promoting concentrated flavors and balanced acidity. The winemaking process emphasizes gentle extraction and careful aging in oak, allowing the wine to develop depth and character while maintaining the distinct qualities of the Pugnitello grape.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Corte Alla Flora Pugnitello showcases rich aromas of dark cherry, plum, and violets, complemented by earthy undertones and a hint of spice.On the palate, it delivers bold flavors of blackberry, leather, and subtle tobacco, with well-integrated tannins and a smooth finish. Ideal pairings include roasted meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. Serve slightly below room temperature, and this wine can be cellared for up to 8–10 years, allowing its complexity to further develop over time.
