White Wines
Our white wines are particularly appreciated in the hottest months, to be served cool with ‘hors-d’oeuvres’ and all fish courses. We produce several white wines such as IGT Bianco Toscano and Vermentino but the most wellknown is indeed the ‘Vernaccia of San Gimignano’, a very old grape, already named from Dante Alighieri in the ‘Divina Commedia’ and one of the first Italian wine having obtained the DOC certification!
