Guicciardini Strozzi Tenuta Villa Cusona

Guicciardini Strozzi is a company that boasts over a thousand years of history in Tuscany, where in 994 we already read in a document of the existence of the Tenuta di Cusona , the historic headquarters of the company in front of the walls of San Gimignano. There are 530 hectares of the estate, which made the history of San Gimignano and Vernaccia here , the most famous variety in this area.

And it is precisely Vernaccia that constitutes the heart of the estate's production, completed by Sangiovese and small percentages of Merlot and Cabernet for reds. The perfect example of Guicciardini Strozzi's experience and knowledge is represented by Vernaccia di San Gimignano Riserva DOCG , produced only with grapes from the best vintages that spend a few months in French oak barrels: the result is a distinctly floral wine, with excellent structure and gustatory persistence, where the wise use of wood returns.

The Cusona Brut is an interesting experiment, a sparkling wine produced from the same Vernaccia grapes according to the Charmat method which remains on the lees for a few months and is fun and pleasant in the mouth with delicate fruit and yeast aftertaste.
