Fiore Vernaccia di San Gimignano
San Gimignano, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
The 2021 Vernaccia di San Gimignano Fiore is a blend of three clones taken from just free run juice. That approach yields a soft, creamy Vernaccia with gorgeous textural richness and fine balance. Orchard fruit, white flowers, mint, white pepper and a kiss of spice all build effortlessly. Beautifully persistent and classy, the Fiore is a winner from Montenidoli.

Pale to medium lemon; pronounced intensity aromas of baked golden apple, peach, golden raspberry, intense cedar, baking spices, vanilla; dry, medium acid, medium alcohol, full bodied, medium plus intensity flavors consistent with aromas; very ripe and round on the palate (acid perhaps a bit low), but very command concentrated

Valencia orange zest, carrots, pine nuts & a teensy bit of tarragon. Yummy as all hell.

Ok Galloni liked this 9.3 so I have to be serious. Someone made an effort to bring something good to the party. It is indeed light and pleasant, white flowers, no limes or lemons here, perhaps hint of white peach. Nice wine no doubt.
