Vernaccia: Tuscan elegance between tradition and personality
The Vernaccia collection brings together an essential and refined selection of wines that directly narrate the character of this denomination, a symbol of Tuscany. Here you will find labels capable of expressing freshness, balance, and a clear aromatic weave, with a contemporary interpretation of a historical and recognizable style.
The absolute protagonist is the Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG, one of the most identity-driven white denominations in Italy, interpreted in the collection by Il Colombaio di Santa Chiara with the Campo della Pieve BIO from the vintages 2018 and 2022. Alongside these labels, the presence of Château Miraval expands the offering with an elegantly profiled rosé, ideal for those seeking a selection that can complement different expressions yet united by drinkability and finesse.
