San Gimignano DOCG Records extend back before the 13th Century that refer to this grape variety. So, this is the wine made from the white grape that grows near the Medieval towered town of San Gimignano in Tuscany. It was the first wine in Italy to be given official DOC status by the Italian government.
Colour ranges from pale yellow to gold with a light aroma.
The taste is dry and astringent with a slightly bitter finish of resinous character. An ideal wine to serve with first courses, seafood, chicken and pork. This is a SuperTuscan IGT wine that shows more fruit and is less tightly structured than Chianti. Aging in Allier oak barriques for 10 months adds richness and texture to an already full-bodied wine. Enjoys being matched with flavours of mushrooms and truffles, stewed meats, game and cheese.
