Vernaccia di San Gimignano

Warm Tuscan sunlight on clay-limestone soils of San Gimignano's towers.

Known as: Vernaccia, Vernaccia di San Gimignano

Vernaccia di San Gimignano was the first Italian wine to bear an official 'Denominazione', and the first to be praised in verse — Dante himself enjoyed it.

Grown around the famous towers of San Gimignano in Tuscany, it produces a golden, nutty white with a distinctive bitter-almond finish.

For the buyer, Vernaccia is Tuscan white charm — a savoury, food-friendly break from the region's reds.
