The medieval town of San Gimignano is one of Tuscany's finest gems and its indigenous Vernaccia grape is said to be one of Italy's oldest, possibly going back to the third century B.C. It made history when, in 1966, Vernaccia di San Gimignano became Italy's first DOC wine. This is luminous straw yellow with an aromatic bouquet of white flowers, pear and honeysuckle, the palate fresh and lively with citrus and almond notes.
