Montenidoli Vernaccia di San Gimignano Tradizionale Organic 2024 750ml

Montenidoli Vernaccia di San Gimignano Tradizionale — Tuscany 2024

Montenidoli is not just a winery — it is a mountain, a philosophy, and one of the most singular estates in all of Tuscany. Perched above the medieval towers of San Gimignano, this certified organic estate has been farming its ancient Vernaccia vines with radical integrity for decades. The Tradizionale is their most expressive bottling: fermented in stainless steel and macerated on the skins for approximately 7 days, it is a Vernaccia of rare complexity and texture — light-medium bodied, energetic, and vibrant, with a beautiful, almost tactile presence on the palate. Fresh stone fruits, orange zest, and blanched almonds lead to a long, lingering finish that is pure and precise. This is Vernaccia as it was always meant to be.

The nose opens with delicate herbal lift, white peach, and almond blossom. On the palate, the skin contact adds a gentle grip and golden depth — citrus pith, apricot, fennel frond, and a whisper of saline minerality. The finish is clean, long, and refreshingly dry, with a classic bitter almond note that is the hallmark of great Vernaccia di San Gimignano.

Montenidoli is a mountain above the appellation of San Gimignano — and this is a noble, elegant expression of Vernaccia from this historic estate. Certified organic, aged in stainless steel, and macerated on the skins for about 7 days, it has lovely complexity: light-medium bodied, energetic, and vibrant with a beautiful texture. Fresh and pure, with flavors of stone fruits, orange zest, and blanched almonds, and a long, lingering finish. Pair with seafood, pasta, vegetables, or simply with cheese.
