Vernaccia di San Gimignano

White

Alessio Logi makes distinct, tangy Vernaccias from high, east-facing, marginal sites in three heterogeneous zones on schistous, calcareous, and pebbly soils, as well as other sites on San Gimignano's sandy norm. The biggest vineyard, the 10ha Cotone or 'Big Rock' is among San Gimignano's best regarded and oldest, dating back to 1011. Winemaking combines stainless steel, cement or oak, depending on terroir. The entry-level Selvabianca bottling is unoaked, allowing its salty tang full rein beneath lemony aromatics.
