Simone Santini
Tenuta La Calcinaie Vernaccia di San Gimignano
San Gimignano, Siena, Tuscany, ItalyLight silver/gold color. Aromas of white peach, citrus and yellow flowers. Flavors of yellow apples and melons, unripe peach and lemon zest. Slight mineral note on the medium finish. Very light bodied and a bit bland. Watery (but smooth) texture and low acidity. Wine is fine and refreshing, but it left me wanting more.

As per previous note, even better on the second day. Citrus/acid accord, great mouthfeel, orange zest on the finish.

Lush with great salinity/acid/citrus and texture. Light aroma. I love wines like this.

Jun 6th, 2019Light crisp super balanced. A tiny tiny bit fizzy tasting but you barely notice. Lemony/melony. Not too sweet at all

Loved the peachy, grassy nose. Citrus and smooth tasting. Don’t get to taste many vernaccia wines
