Vernaccia di San Gimignano “Fiore” 2019 Montenidoli
The Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG “Fiore” by Montenidoli embodies the concept of absolute purity in Vernaccia winemaking. Produced solely from free-run juice, it avoids mechanical pressing to preserve the most delicate and noble components of the grape, resulting in a wine of remarkable finesse and authenticity.
The 100% Vernaccia grapes are sourced from certified organic vineyards (ICEA) located in San Gimignano, at altitudes ranging between 250 and 350 metres above sea level, on calcareous soils with marine sediments. These conditions enhance salinity, freshness and mineral tension. Vines are trained using cordon spur pruning, with a density of 5,500 vines per hectare, ensuring balanced growth and natural concentration.
Vinification begins with natural free-run must, followed by ageing in stainless steel and vitrified cement tanks on fine lees, a method that enhances texture, aromatic purity and ageing potential without altering varietal expression. In the glass, the wine shows a pale straw-yellow colour, bright and crystalline. The bouquet is fine, elegant and ethereal, while the palate is saline, mineral and persistent, with a refined and harmonious finish.
The Vernaccia “Fiore” by Montenidoli is an outstanding pairing for butter-based cuisine, delicate sauces, steamed fish, white meats and elegant aperitifs. One of the most authentic and noble interpretations of Vernaccia di San Gimignano available today.
