Vernaccia di San Gimignano

Medium

Cork

White

Riserva

The Vernaccia grape is easily overpowered by oak but not in the hands of Andrea Vecchione, who is both an agronomist and oenologist. His unoaked entry-level Vernaccia is a creamy, citrussy benchmark, but it is the rounder, deeper, lightly oaky Riserva that stands out. Its yellow fruit reflects the mix of both sand (softness) and clay (structure) soils in the prized Pancole terroir, lending softness and structure respectively. These two elements meld via a creaminess created by long lees ageing in barrel.
