Denomination
Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG
Grape variety
Vernaccia di San Gimignano 100%
Vinification
Soft pressing of the grapes. Fermentation with local yeasts takes place in durmast barrels at a controlled temperature. 70% of the maturation period takes place in durmast barrels for 12 months and 30% takes place in cement vats. After being put together the wine remains in cement vats for further 8 months and is refined in bottles for about 12 months.
Organoleptic notes
Straw-coloured with golden hues. A captivating perfume with notes of apricot, which blend with the balsamic notes of the maturation in wood barrels. On the palate it is highly structured, with a vibrating and vivid sourness. Perfect for a long aging.
Pairing
Saffron Tagliolini (thin noodles), baked fish, rabbit with Vernaccia.
