St. Giorgio Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG 2023
From the historic Catellani family, who have been cultivating Tuscan soils since the late 1800s, this Vernaccia reflects both tradition and thoughtful innovation. Part of the S. Giorgio Collection, it offers a clean, elegant aromatic profile with the kind of quiet charm that defines central Tuscan whites.
Lightly crushed and fermented at cool temperatures to preserve its fragrance, the wine opens with delicate fruit tones ofpear, citrus, and soft orchard notes, that gracefully evolve into a subtle mineral finish.
On the palate, it’s dry and harmonious with a classic Vernaccia almond note on the close, balanced and refreshing without overstaying its welcome. Whether paired with fish, simple veggie dishes, or enjoyed solo, this is a graceful, easy-to-love white that speaks to place and care. Simply lovely. Cheers! — a year ago

It's an amarone. And of course it is not from Salerno but from Verona valpolicella.. — 4 years ago

2020 vintage. Medium/medium-heavy body. Shy bouquet. Great melding of flavors already tho. Showing nicely for a prettier, speed bump-free Brunello effort. 3.11.26. — a month ago
