The story behind the wine and the label

Medieval San Gimignano, known for its characteristic tall stone towers, forms the backdrop for this DOCG wine. Winery Geografico, deeply rooted in Tuscan tradition, produces this wine with respect for the region. The vineyards are situated on the sun-drenched hills surrounding San Gimignano. The grapes are carefully selected and harvested at optimal ripeness. Vinification takes place under temperature control in stainless steel tanks. This ensures the preservation of the fresh fruit notes and the characteristic mineral touch so typical of the Vernaccia grape. The calcareous soil of the vineyards contributes to the wine's minerality.
