DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Toscolo makes this white from the hills around San Gimignano, the Tuscan town of medieval towers. Vernaccia di San Gimignano was Italy's first wine to win DOC status, in 1966, and it became a DOCG in 1993. Records of the wine in the town go back to 1276.
It is made from Vernaccia, the white grape the town has grown for centuries. The color is a luminous straw yellow. The bouquet is delicate and aromatic, with white flowers, pear and honeysuckle. On the palate it is full-flavored, with citrus, firm freshness and the almond note this grape is known for. Dry and crisp, with a pleasant slightly bitter finish.
Serve it chilled, around 48 to 50°F, in a white wine glass. It is a natural with Tuscan food: pecorino, crostini, chicken liver pâté and white bean soup. It also suits grilled fish, shrimp pasta and risotto with spring vegetables.
Bottle size: 750ml
