Vernaccia di San Gimignano
In the heart of Tuscany lies San Gimignano, a medieval town which can be missed when driving by. The vineyards of Vernaccia di San Gimignano stretch across the town in sun-drenched hills. The white wines from San Gimignano, popular since the 13th century, was once favored by popes and noble men. Made from the Vernaccia grape, it is renowned for its minerality, golden hue, and delicate aromas of citrus, green apple, and almond.
Generations of winemakers in San Gimignano have perfected the style of these wines by cultivating the vines. The unique terroir of sandy and rocky soils, combined with cool breezes from the Tyrrhenian Sea, gives Vernaccia its distinctive freshness and elegance. Unlike many Tuscan wines, which are red, Vernaccia di San Gimignano stands apart as a delicate white wine.
