Fiore Vernaccia di San Gimignano
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
