Il Colombaio di Santachiara ‘Campo della Pieve’ Vernaccia di San Gimignano 2022

$40.00

This is a thoughtfully crafted, site-specific white from the region around San Gimignano in Tuscany. Made from 100% Vernaccia grown in the Campo della Pieve vineyard (1.5 ha, organic certified), the vines are rooted in Pliocene sands and clays with chalky substrates.

This wine is aged 18–20 months on the fine lees in cement vats (with periodic bâtonnage), which gives it texture and volume without sacrificing brightness. The result is a luminous straw-yellow wine with aromatic lift: yellow stone fruit, citrus peel, acacia, beeswax, and floral notes on the nose. On the palate it’s juicy but structured, combining orchard fruit, zest and toasted almond, finishing with salty minerality.

This Tuscan Vernaccia balances richness and tension: Pair it with risotto, ribollita, or softer cheeses—dishes that let the wine’s mineral texture and subtle depth shine.
