San Ferdinando Pugnitello

Very well worth a try

Pugnitello - how can you NOT be intrigued once you have looked up the grape? Very interesting - rustic and even a bit brutish on first taste, would never then have proceeded to buy if it was an in-store tasting - but then once tasted with the food (roast chicken), it blended beautifully, and became almost mellow yet still full. A very satisfying as well as slightly unusual mouthful - will buy again, not only as a curiosity (which it certainly is), but also on merit.
