Vinification of Vernaccia di San Gimignano by Teruzzi

This wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, namely Vernaccia. Only the best grapes were used for this wonderfully elegant single-varietal wine from Teruzzi. In Tuscany, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of loam, sand, clay and marl. When they are perfectly ripe, the grapes for Vernaccia di San Gimignano are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of coarse and less selective grape harvesters. After the harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally drawn off.

Dining recommendation for the Vernaccia di San Gimignano from Teruzzi
