Vernaccia di San Gimignano - Organic

  • Panizzi
  • Toscana, Italy

Method & Production

This wine has been produced ever since Panizzi’s first harvest in 1989. Made from 95% Vernaccia and 5% Incrocio Manzoni grapes from four vineyards in San Gimignano; Larniano, Montagnana, Santa Margherita and Lazzeretto. The grapes are hand-harvested from vines averaging 30 years old, planted in tuffaceous soils with variable yellow clay presence. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks at 19°C and remains on lees for the following 4 to 5 months.

Tasting notes

Bright, light straw color. Fragrant, fresh spring flowers on the nose and fresh fruit-driven palate of green apple, pear, white peach and grapefruit. Dry, crisp, and mineral, with a slight bitterness to the finish which is typical of Vernaccia di San Gimignano. The fruit/mineral balance is so yummy! Very clean and precise.

Food matching

Works excellently as an aperitif or match with vegetable tempura, soup, fish or white meat dishes and fresh cheeses.
