Vernaccia di San Gimignano Riserva PE 2022

In our oldest vineyard that we have been working and cherishing for over 25 years, where, due to its exposure, the soil rich in cavernous limestone and fossil oysters, the climate always ventilated, ripen clusters of Vernaccia grapes as yellow as gold, crisp and concentrated, in the last five years we have identified about 400 vines, less productive, but much richer in sugar and acidity. From these fruits, comes the Vernaccia Riserva Personal Edition, unique and unrepeatable, both for the exclusivity of the bunches and for the method with which we make it.
