Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Casale di Bucciano (75cl)

Vernaccia di San Gimignano is the most famous Tuscan white wines, and historically one of Italy’s most famous whites. During the 1980s and 1990s, it achieved global fame and could be found on shelves and restaurant wine lists around the world before its popularity declined. However, when properly made, Vernaccia di San Gimignano is a high-quality, characterful white wine that truly reflects its Tuscan terroir, and that of San Gimignano in particular.

This wine has a, straight in your face, floral and fruity nose, expressive and aromatic right from the first swirl. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet lively, with a refreshing acidity and a persistent finish that balances freshness with structure.

Vernaccia di San Gimignano is an exceptionally versatile wine. It pairs beautifully with fish dishes, white meats, risottos, and seasonal vegetable plates, while also complementing fresh cheeses. Its balanced profile allows it to enhance delicate flavors without overpowering them, making it a perfect choice for Mediterranean and Tuscan cuisine.

Nestled among rolling vineyards and olive groves overlooking San Gimignano’s iconic towers, Casolare di Bucciano is a historic family-run estate where tradition, nature and viticulture come together. The property has been lovingly tended by the Biagini family since the early 1960s, when Ascanio Biagini first planted Vernaccia and Sangiovese vines and built the original winery on this sunny Tuscan hillside.

Today the estate’s cellar remains at the heart of their work — a place where careful craftsmanship and deep respect for the environment shape every bottle. From the vineyard to the bottle, the family ensures that their organically grown grapes are treated with gentle precision: soft pressing, controlled fermentation and attentive handling preserve the fresh, vibrant character for which Vernaccia di San Gimignano is renowned.

Their Vernaccia di San Gimignano reflects the clarity and lithe elegance of the San Gimignano terroir — a wine shaped by centuries-old soils, breezy hilltop exposures and a sustainable approach that honours the land they steward. Through thoughtful viticulture and a commitment to low yields, Casolare di Bucciano celebrates both the heritage of this historic white wine and the natural beauty of the Tuscan countryside that nurtures it.
