St. Giorgio Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG 2023
From the historic Catellani family, who have been cultivating Tuscan soils since the late 1800s, this Vernaccia reflects both tradition and thoughtful innovation. Part of the S. Giorgio Collection, it offers a clean, elegant aromatic profile with the kind of quiet charm that defines central Tuscan whites.

Lightly crushed and fermented at cool temperatures to preserve its fragrance, the wine opens with delicate fruit tones ofpear, citrus, and soft orchard notes, that gracefully evolve into a subtle mineral finish.

On the palate, it’s dry and harmonious with a classic Vernaccia almond note on the close, balanced and refreshing without overstaying its welcome. Whether paired with fish, simple veggie dishes, or enjoyed solo, this is a graceful, easy-to-love white that speaks to place and care. Simply lovely. Cheers! — 14 days ago

Perfect to sip in the late summer sun by the pool. The notes of apricot are a delightful, refreshing surprise. — 3 years ago

Revelatory Montepulciano with Italian essence but Bordeaux character. Medium bodied with earthy fruit and restrained tannins, combined with notes of leather and cedar box and a hint of soy sauce. Mouthwatering food wine; the 2013 vintage is definitely ready to enjoy now. First glass was at Mother Wolf in LA (date night with Dreama) and most recently a bottle at home with my own beef stroganoff on a Sunday night. What a way to top off the weekend! — 15 days ago
