Vernaccia | Grape variety

San Gimignano and the Vernaccia: both have centuries-old roots. On the one hand, the history, the art and, above all, the architecture of this unique city, characterized by its slender medieval towers; on the other, a wine that is unparalleled in tradition and fame, not only in Italy but worldwide.

The small town of San Gimignano is one of the main tourist attractions of Tuscany. It is located on a hill in the valley of the river Elsa in the province of Siena and has about 7,000 inhabitants. Vernaccia di San Gimignano is probably one of the most famous wines of Tuscany, it remains the only famous white wine of this region. - Gerardo




´Karmis´ · Isola dei Nuraghi Bianco IGT 2023, Attilio Contini, Sardinien

Karmis · Isola dei Nuraghi Bianco IGT 2023


Attilio Contini, Sardegna

Of strong, bright straw yellow is Karmis - a white wine based on Vernaccia. The bouquet is fine and persistent, with pleasant floral fruit nuances. The palate is mild yet full-bodied, with good and persistent spiciness. An interesting wine from the Tirso Valley, between Cabras and Baratili. - Gerardo [TS12/24]

"The surprise of the year is the young, fresh and fragrant Carmis from predominantly Vernaccia." - Gambero Rosso

"The Karmis Cuvèe is a blend of Vernaccia and Vermentino planted in the sandy soils of the Tirso Valley (in the IGT Tharros appellation). The wine boasts a light and forthcoming style with a strong floral component that is contrasted against a tangy, fruity side. It delivers on its promise of freshness and clean simplicity." - Robert Parker

´Antico Gregori´ · Vernaccia di Oristano DOC 1976, Attilio Contini, Sardinien

Antico Gregori · Vernaccia di Oristano DOC 1976


Attilio Contini, Sardegna

Vernaccia di Oristano Antico Gregori is a cuvée made by the solera method, with a base dating back to the early 1900s and topped up only with the best vintage. Cited by Hugh Johnson as one of the 20 wines to have tasted once in a lifetime.

The aroma is reminiscent of toasted almonds and hazelnuts, intense and complex as the aging that takes place in barrels of precious woods and lasts for decades. Velvety as an embrace, warm and dry as a tropical breeze, ideal for meditation and spicy cheeses. - Gerardo [TS12/77]
