Vernaccia di San Gimignano was Italy's very first DOC, and this is the grape made the way five friends from agricultural school think it should be: organic and picked by hand. Renato Spanu, Nadia and Christian Betti, Enrico Paternoster and Valerio Zorzi met in their twenties at the agricultural institute in San Michele all'Adige, up in Trentino. They then moved to San Gimignano and founded La Lastra in 1994. Spanu, the team's agronomist, even wrote his graduation thesis on improving the genetics of Vernaccia, so this is a grape they know closely. Their Vernaccia vines grow at around 260 meters on Pliocene clay with seams of calcareous sand, on hillsides facing southeast to southwest. Everything is about keeping the grapes fresh: they travel to the winery on dry ice. They call Vernaccia their "Tuscany in White," and it makes a strong case that Tuscany's whites deserve as much attention as its reds.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Tuscan antipasti like finocchiona, young pecorino and white-bean crostini; fritto misto; grilled branzino with lemon and herbs; chicken under a brick with rosemary; pici with zucchini and pecorino.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic Vernaccia di San Gimignano profile: ripe citrus and yellow apple, with hints of hazelnut, gentle spice and a touch of honey. It's typically medium-bodied, with lively acidity and a stony, slightly salty edge, and finishes dry with the grape's signature bitter-almond twist. Think of a fuller, more savoury alternative to Pinot Grigio.
