Vernaccia di San Gimignano

White

Riserva

Signorina Vittoria is sourced from relatively young west- and southeast-facing vines up to 15 years old, planted in clay and sand soils with some marine fossils. Fermented in used Chablis barriques and matured for 10 months on the lees, this 2011 has an exotic character: aromas of lanolin, spice, smok, earth, herbs and caramelised orange peel are followed in the mouth by a concentrated, viscous body with a complexity of toasted fenugreek seeds, preserved lemons, pepper, ginger and baked apple, the a long finish developing some nutty, butter and vanilla notes. Textural and slightly saline, it has good freshness to counteract its round mouthfeel.
