Questo vino

Vineyard and terroir

The wine comes from a careful selection of fully ripe grapes grown around San Gimignano. Its mineral character is linked to soils that were once beneath the sea and remain rich in marine fossils.

Grapes

Vernaccia; the precise percentage is not specified.

Vinification

The hand-harvested grapes undergo approximately four days of skin maceration at low temperature, broadening the aromatic profile and producing a slightly deeper colour. Gentle pressing follows, after which the must ferments in stainless-steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine matures on its fine lees for approximately one year, gaining structure, balance and complexity.

Tasting profile

Straw yellow with golden highlights. The nose is intense and enveloping, with citrus and mineral notes. Elegant and structured on the palate, it combines saline, iodine-like nuances with pronounced freshness and a persistent finish.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 12–14°C. Pair with fish-based first courses, shellfish, salmon, white meats and medium-aged cheeses. Suggested dishes from Ristorante Da Pode are Fusilli allo zafferano and Zuppetta di fagioli e porcini.
