2023 Geografico Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG

At Geografico, every vineyard that comes under management is evaluated by the geologist and the vineyard specialist. They provide advice on the best grape varieties and rootstocks. They then assist the owner in setting up the vineyard and constantly managing the vineyard. An expert winemaking team makes the wine. Finally, there are 'state of the art' bottling lines. This quality philosophy is combined with a terroir focus: the grapes for the higher wines always come from one vineyard and are therefore named after their domain. The wines are produced in a classic way with little intervention in the vinification process. This results in honest wines, pleasant to drink wines, which are also competitively priced.

San Gimignano is the 'Manhattan of the Middle Ages' and a beautiful place, but it is also an appellation where unique wines are made from the Vernaccia di San Gimignano, from which a dry white wine is made that is produced exclusively in the Italian municipality of San Gimignano in the region of Tuscany. The DOCG Vernaccia di San Gimignano was Italy's very first DOC, founded in 1966. In 1993, this designation of origin was promoted to the DOCG status that it still has today. At least 85% of the grapes used for the wine must be vernaccia and this Geografico Vernaccia di San Gimignano is 100% Vernaccia.

In the glass the wine is light yellow with an elegant and aromatic nose with lots of white fruit and some herbs. Surprisingly fresh and fruity in the mouth, with a good structure and a slightly bitter that gives the wine strength. Just a lovely glass of wine.
