Welcome at our wineshop Vanni in Lucca, Tuscany (Italy) since 1965.
In this video our sommelier Simone is tasting three bottles of wine.
Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG is considered one of the most important Italian and Tuscan white wines, and boasts a long history documented since 1000 AD. Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG saw its rebirth in the 1960s, becoming the first Italian wine to boast the prestigious DOC in 1966 and later DOCG in 1993.
First we have the Vernaccia di San Gimignano Montenidoli 2021 - €25,-
Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG "Fiore" by Montenidoli, of pleasant finesse, immediately expresses itself with a characteristic mineral finish. Produced following the dictates of organic farming, it is born, in fact, from grapes grown on calcareous soils and these ultimately mark the wine. Fresh and inviting, it offers a pleasantly typical taste.
The second one is the Vernaccia di San Gimignano San Benedetto 2021 - €11,-
Azienda Agricola San Benedetto offers this pleasant Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG, the result of a careful selection of grapes from the company's vineyards. Produced only with the best bunches harvested manually when the right balance between sugar and acidity is reached, this Vernaccia has the right character to accompany lunches and dinners with friends with satisfaction. Once in the cellar, the grapes are softly pressed. The must obtained is then fermented at a low temperature and, at the end of the transformation, the wine is left to mature for a long time on its lees. The result is a beautiful wine characterized by a lively straw yellow colour. The nose is fresh and fruity, with hints of apple, apricot and acacia flowers. In the mouth it is harmonious and savory, with a very pleasant slightly bitter aftertaste. On the table it goes perfectly with appetizers, soups and white meats. Also ideal with fish-based dishes.
The third one is the Vernaccia di San Gimignano Cesani 2021 - €10,-
A pale straw-yellow color tinged with green, intense fruity and mineral aromas, a savory, rounded flavour, with an aftertaste of bitter almonds, typical of the vine: this is how the Vernaccia di San Gimignano docg produced by the Cesani company presents itself to our senses. It comes from beautiful grapes grown in the company vineyards according to the principles of organic farming, vinified with infinite care and passion. It lends itself to accompany many dishes, from the more traditional caciucco to the more contemporary sushi.
