Vernaccia di San Gimignano

It was the first wine to get the appellation D.O.C., and today it is the only white wine in Tuscany to be D.O.C.G. Its fame is very ancient and goes back to the end of 1200. It is produced inside the territory of the commune of San Gimignano (Siena) with grapes of the same name (Vernaccia) and with the eventual addition (maximum 10%) of other white grapes.

To get the appellation Riserva it needs a maturation period of at least 14 months, according to traditionnal methods, and then 4 months in bottles.

Alcohol By Volume: 11% minimum
