Vernaccia di San Gimignano

The white Vernaccia wine is produced in the sunny area of San Gimignano from Vernaccia of San Gimignano grapes. This is one of the few white wines that resists aging, and therefore should not exceed five years. It is advisable only for particularly good vintage years. It is a nice accompagniment for hors-d'oeuvres, first courses with light sauces and fish dishes, but above all roasted fish. When aged it is ideal with all kinds of shellfish. It also pairs well with white meats, especially when cooked in light sauces made with cheese or cream.
