Description
Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG Campo della Pieve BIO: Tuscan elegance and authentic identity
Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG Campo della Pieve BIO by Il Colombaio di Santa Chiara is an organic white wine that finely interprets one of the great classics of Tuscany. Made from 100% Vernaccia di San Gimignano, it combines expressive rigor, aromatic complexity, and a pleasant sapidity, offering a refined and modern profile, yet deeply connected to the territory.

The Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG is a historic and identity-driven denomination, linked to the hills around San Gimignano, where the grape variety finds its most typical expression. In this interpretation by Il Colombaio di Santa Chiara, the style focuses on precision, balance, and depth. The choice of vinification with indigenous yeasts, followed by a long aging on fine lees in concrete with batonnage, helps to create a characterful white that combines freshness, substance, and a continuous taste experience.
