An Italian night with another Total Wine holiday purchase. The Vernaccia grape is a classic Italian white grape that, while it's popularity has waned, has seen a resurgence in drinkability lately. Vernaccia grown in San Gimignano, situated on lush hillside in Tuscany, was the first Italian wine to receive DOC status and eventually DOCG in 1993. The Vernaccia wine is typically dry, acidic, and slightly bitter. ~$15 | #totalwine #vernaccia #italianwhitewine
On the eyes: Light translucent straw yellow, starbright, no stain, light legs.
On the nose: Meyer lemon rind with hints of hay and bitter root vegetable. Med- alcohol.
On the tongue: Med acid, med- tannin, med- alcohol. Unripe lemon wrapped in a light herbaceous blanket with hints of oak yielding to a slightly bitter mineralty. Low complexity but the price point makes it worth it. — 9 years ago

Non mi ha entusiasmato! Un buon vino non c'è che dire ma forse era troppo freddo per poterlo apprezzare pienamente. #fumawine #vernaccia #sangiminiano #montenidoli #vqprd #whitewine #italianwine #vinobianco — 7 years ago

Дуб, абрикос, выпечка, много дуба. Чисто, но характер сорта закрыт.

I don’t have too much experience with #vernaccia but the sommelier told me that this was typical of the grape and the region #sangimignano it has lees contact. On the nose I noticed grass, lemon, yoghurt and vainilla and honey. On the palate it was refreshing with medium acidity and a medium body and finish. Either I was just really thirsty or it is a thirst quencher. Either way, it went down well. — 4 years ago
Classic #vernaccia Di San Gimignano. Light tree fruit with a hint of lime. Acidic and slightly bitter on the finish. #GrapeXplorer — 8 years ago
Сладкий ананас, белая груша, фруктово, чисто. Тельно, насыщенно, фруктово. Очень симпатично.
