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.

2009 is drinking great. Developed character, but still with great saline minerality and acidic verve.

I think I'm officially an acid head because I LOVED this.

Honeyed fennel palate very stony mineral clean nose. Round and simple on some level but quite nice.

Fresh fruits, citrus. With a bit bitterness to stimulate my throat. Low temperature is good for it. 2017 @1080, Kping - Daxi, 210927-211002

Very nice vernaccia. Medium plus body, nice and mouth filling, well balanced, good acid. Quite aromatic.
