Vernaccia di San Gimignano

"From vintner Simone Santini, the Tenuta le Calcinaie 2019 Vernaccia di San Gimignano is another exciting and fresh white wine made from organic fruit. This Tuscan appellation excels in terms of the high percentage of estates that farm sustainably. In the case of this wine, you get lovely aromas of stone fruit and pear, with salty mineral notes. This is a lean-bodied white that prioritizes primary fruit; however, Tenuta le Calcinaie boasts more textural richness and depth than most. It's a great choice for fried seafood—and a great value to boot."

"Lots of lemon, lime and some fennel aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, fruity and creamy. Very nicely done for Vernaccia di San Gimignano. From organically grown grapes. Drink now."

"The 2019 Vernaccia di San Gimignano is a gorgeous wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Dried pear, almond, dried flowers, mint and sage all open up nicely. Soft curves and lovely floral top notes add to its considerable appeal. Best of all, the 2019 is a terrific value."
