Description
The Vernaccia di San Gimignano Isola Bianca originates from Teruzzi’s estate vineyards, a benchmark winery belonging to the renowned Terra Moretti group, located in the localities of Racciano and Ponte Rondolino within the San Gimignano district. The vineyards lie on deep Pliocene clay soils. The label features murderous bunnies, quirky figures exemplifying drôleries once used to decorate the margins and initials of Gothic illuminated manuscripts.
After a skin maceration of the grapes and gentle pressing, the must ferments at a temperature of 16 °C in stainless-steel tanks, where the wine then ages for 4–5 months.
It shows a straw-yellow colour to the eye. The nose offers a display of fresh, delicate fruit notes accompanied by mineral tones. On the palate it shows good freshness, structure and persistence, with a pleasant, slightly bitter almond finish.
A highly drinkable wine, ideal as an aperitif, it pairs beautifully with appetizers and elaborate fish dishes.
