Vernaccia di San Gimignano Superiore represents the a refined expression of the wine. Compared to the standard Vernaccia, the Superiore showcases greater elegance, structure, and depth, while remaining true to its origins: no oak or lees aging, just the very best grapes carefully selected from the vines.
On the nose, this Vernaccia di San Gimignano Superiore reveals itself gradually, much like a theatrical performance. If the normal Vernaccia nose was bold, 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.
