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

This Vernaccia di San Gimignano Superiore represents a refined expression of the Vernaccia grape. Compared to the classic version, the Superiore displays greater elegance, structure, and depth while remaining true to its origins — no oak or lees ageing, just pure, graceful character born from the finest grapes, carefully selected from the vineyard.

On the nose, this Vernaccia di San Gimignano Superiore reveals itself gradually, much like a theatrical performance. If the normal Vernaccia's nose is bold and straight to your face, here it opens delicately with floral notes, slowly evolving into richer fruity aromas. This refined aromatic progression makes it a wine meant to be savored slowly, sip by sip.

The palate is full-bodied and elegant, supported by a firm mineral backbone, excellent structure, and remarkable persistence. Its balance of freshness, complexity, and finesse ensures that every sip invites another, leaving a lasting impression of Tuscan craftsmanship.

This Vernaccia di San Gimignano Superiore calls for more substantial dishes than the classic version. It pairs beautifully with medium-matured cheeses such as Pecorino Toscano or Pecorino di Pienza, as well as rich white meat dishes and refined seafood recipes. This is a great wine for those who appreciate sophistication, tradition, and the unique terroir of San Gimignano.

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.
