"The Fontaleoni estate produces a crisp and lively version of Vernaccia by soft pressing, cold clarification and a slow, temperature controlled fermentation. A fresh and crisp yet elegant wine, It is delicate in flavor with a robust backbone, making it a perfect partner for food. Notes of lemon and some spice, with firm acidity in the mouth." - Winery; Sustainable Farming

- Once named Enotria for its abundant vineyards, Italy (thanks to the ancient Greeks and Romans) has had an enormous impact on the wine world.

Vernaccia di San Gimignano has the honor of being Italy¦s first ever DOC wine, in 1993 promoted to DOCG. This wine is a bright, exciting, floral delight with cleansing citrus and a lush body. Made by the Scotti family, this is the best Vernaccia we¦ve come across in years. Why? These 35 year-old vines pack loads of Old World minerality into every sip. Perfect for warm weather, flaky fish, and crisp salads.

It is pleasantly fresh with a hint of green apple and delicate white flowers. It adapts wonderfully to any type of cuisine thanks to the rich mineral content of the wine. This wine with great elegance, a pleasant bouquet and structure is a classic example of Vernaccia that 'kisses, licks, bites and stings', as described by the poet Michelangelo Buonarroti Jr. in his peom Alone.

"Floral and briny style of Vernaccia, as opposed to the bright and lemony fresh style. This simply begs for oysters or mussels with the white flowers, crushed rock, liquid mineral and subtle fruits notes streaking through the middle of this fresh and crisp white."
