Vernaccia Di San Gimignano - 2005 - Riccardo Falchini
Ref: A102105
Zippy and fresh and loaded with poached pear on the nose and through to the palate. Bitter sweet. Makes a great aperitif and fab with fish.

Vernaccia di San Gimignano dates back to the thirteenth century and is based around the medieval hilltop town of San Gimignano, southwest of Florence. Its origins are thought to be Greek. The wines produced from the Vernaccia can vary tremendously but modern winemaking techniques produce pale wines with a crisp, light character.
This example from the Baroncini family is light straw yellow verging on gold with typical fruity palate, well knit and with a hint of bitter almonds on the finish.

The DOCG area based around the town of San Gimignano was the very first to receive DOC status when Italy began implementing its wine-classification system in 1966. In addition to the reputation for the wines produced from its namesake grape, the town of San Gimignano is renowned for its medieval atmosphere. It's replete with tall, narrow towers that were built during a time when higher was considered better and safer.
