A very delicious and complex palate of citrus fruits mingling with floral aromas with excellent balance between the acidity and the persistency of the wine. A hint of bitter almond on the finish really characterises the variety. Balanced and very elegant.

Producer Information
Producer Information
Enrico Teruzzi is a true Tuscan pioneer, being not only one of the first people in the region to install temperature control in his cellar, but also doing much to save Vernaccia from extinction. Admittedly, the legislation was already in place to do so: Vernaccia di San Gimignano was the first DOC to be created, in 1966, eight years before Enrico’s arrival. Nonetheless, his determination has ensured that this most characterful of Tuscany’s indigenous white varieties is more than a legal curiosity. San Gimignano, close to the Chianti zone, also has a growing reputation for Sangiovese.
