Review
A wine of real distinction and class, the 2014 Vernaccia di San Gimignano Riserva Vigna ai Sassi offers notable depth as well as considerable aromatic nuance. Crushed rocks, lemon confit, herb, chamomile and slightly tropical overtones are fused together. There is plenty to like in this very pretty, expressive white.

Review
Made from 95% Vernaccia and 5% Chardonnay planted in 1986, this opens with inviting orchard fruit, spring wildflower and yeasty bread dough scents. Bright and savory, the medium-bodied palate doles out ripe pear, yellow apple, crushed herb and nut hints alongside fresh acidity.

Review
The 2015 Vernaccia di San Gimignano Riserva Vigna ai Sassi is broad and ample on the palate, both of which make it a terrific choice for the dinner table. Apricot, mint, spice and chamomile and nuance as the wine opens up in the glass. The 2015 can be enjoyed now, but it also has the pedigree to develop nicely for at least a few years. Aging on the less with some stirring adds texture, but there is no oak here.

Review
This is a beautiful and sophisticated Vernaccia. The 2015 Vernaccia di San Gimignano Riserva Vigna Ai Sassi has tons of saffron and mineral notes surrounded by peach, lemon mousse and honeydew melon. The wine offers good fullness and even some white licorice at the back. Great job.

Rich, showing depth to the apple, almond, honey and salty, minerally flavors. Clean and bright, with a lingering chalky aftertaste. Drink now.

Very attractive aromas and flavors of mangoes, papaya and apple peel follow through to a medium body. Lovely fruit and a creamy, textured finish. Drink now.

Review
The 2016 Vernaccia di S. Gimignano Riserva Vigna ai Sassi is a white of uncommon complexity and distinction. Deep and beautifully layered, with striking richness, the 2016 has so much to offer. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint, apricot and almonds meld together in a creamy, beautifully textured, oily white to drink now and over the next handful of years.

Review
The 2021 Vernaccia di San Gimignano Riserva Vigna ai Sassi is a classy, polished white of real dimension. Orchard fruit, tangerine oil, almond, dried flowers and chamomile confer notable complexity. There's gorgeous textural presence and tons of character here.
