Medium-textured, predominantly calcareous marl breakdown of alberese and galestro limestones, with abuntant gravel pebble mixture.

Pugnitello is an ancient Tuscan native grape variety, whose name (little fist) refers to the shape of its cluster. Following its rediscovery, it has been researched, in collaboration with the universities of Florence and Pisa, in San Felice’s experimental vineyard. The wine is the fruit of 20 years of study and experimentation focused on saving native Tuscan grapes from extinction. Pugnitello is noteworthy for its distinctive characteristics, smoothness, and full-bodied concentration.

This is where tradition combines with advanced technology. The 18th century cellars, carved out of rugged limestone, are extensive. You’ll be fascinated by the rows of red stained oak barrels and halls of vast steel vats, temperature controlled for fermentation. You’ll see teams of experts tasting, blending, balancing to produce the finest Chianti Classico. Their passion created in 1968 the first Supertuscan, our renowned Vigorello.

A mild winter 2020 made a very early bud breaking end of March. Unfortunately the night of March 25th the temperatures dropped down below 0 and the Sangiovese was strongly affected with a dramatic reduction of the yield. The spring was nice with a good amount of rain and several sunny days. The summer was great, warm but without many heat waves. The fruit reached a perfect ripening soon.
