About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
A hand-picked selection from vineyards in San Gimignano.
Grapes
Vernaccia with a small percentage of Chardonnay.
Vinification
The grapes are gently pressed and the juice is separated from the pomace before controlled-temperature fermentation in 225 L French oak barrels.
Ageing
Fermentation and maturation take place in the same small French oak barrels for approximately four to five months. The wine then receives another four months of refinement in bottle before release. Prolonged oak contact contributes fragrance, softness and longevity.
Technical data
Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG. Minimum alcohol: 13.0%.
Tasting profile

Label / history
