Learn more about Vernaccia di San Gimignano
Vernaccia di San Gimignano is an ancient Tuscan white wine that dates back to the 1st century AD.
It was the first to be classified as a DOC in March 1966 and was promoted to DOCG status in 1993. The name `Vernaccia' comes from the original dialect here, meaning simply `white wine'. Stylistically Vernaccia di San Gimignano is light-bodied with a stony, citrus, almost salty character, thanks in part to the sandstone soils surrounding this famous fortified village.

Casale Falchini,
Ready, but will keep,
Nested in prime Vernaccia country, Casale Falchini looks down at the picturesque Tuscan village of San Gimignano. This wine has herbal top notes of bitter almond and peach stone. The attack is toned and fresh with a leesy quality. Crisp acidity complements the smooth mouth-feel, while salty notes linger on the long and chalky finish.
