Montenidoli farms at high elevation above San Gimignano, and their Vernaccia is a Tuscan treasure that proves this much-abused grape can be genuinely great. The "Tradizionale" is the classic bottling: native-yeast fermented, given time on its skins and lees, and built for both pleasure and the table. This is Vernaccia with real texture, structure and savory grip, a world away from the thin commercial versions that gave the appellation its mixed name. Altitude keeps it fresh; tradition gives it soul. A standout white from a great vintage. Serve cool, not ice-cold, to let it show.

More about Montenidoli

Elisabetta Fagiuoli's Vernaccia has reached cult status for good reason. She describes her white grape as having 'the body of a red,' and she backs it up by fermenting all her wines with skin contact—a rarity in Tuscany. Farming organically on chalky-marine soil 200 meters above San Gimignano, she makes three distinct Vernaccias, each revealing different facets of the same terroir. Complex, long, totally original.
