Le Calcinaie
Vernaccia di San Gimignano
This wine is produced with 100% Vernaccia grapes, coming from 5 vineyards located in the northern and southern parts of the Santa Lucia hill. The northern part is velvety and softer, while the southern part is deeper, minerally and vertical. The assembly of these 5 vineyards results in a balanced blend of Vernaccia grapes. This reflects the fresh, acidic, pungent and vibrant part of the first harvested grapes, while the last ones are intense, fat velvety and rich in fullness.
