Vernaccia di San Gimignano
Vernaccia di San Gimignano comes from, as the name suggests, San Gimignano in the Province of Siena in Tuscany. This dry white wine has a pleasant medium-light body with moderate acidity. Made with the Vernaccia grape, the vineyards around San Gimignano are planted in sandstone soil. This produces a wine that is with crisp acidity and slight bitterness on the finish. While Vernaccia di San Gimignano traditionally wa quite a simple wine, recently aging in oak barrels has become more popular in production of this wine, leading to a greater complexity and roundness in the finished wine.

Tasting notes
Vernaccia di San Gimignano tends to be golden in colour and is characterised by floral and mineral notes. This combination pairs well with white fish such as cod as the minerality pairs with the flavour of fish. Additionally, herby and savoury flavours match well with San Gimignano so this wine will pair well with a variety of cod-based pasta sauce. On the palate, Vernaccia di San Gimignano has notes of apple, pear, and lemon along with a slight saltiness. We recommend chilling before serving alongside your cod pasta dish.
