Il Palagione Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG Riserva Ori 2020 Organic , 0,75 L

This Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG Riserva exemplifies the diversity and excellence of Italian wines! During our recent visit, we had the privilege of tasting a 10-year-old Vernaccia Ori, and we were truly impressed by its ageing potential.

Giorgio Comotti's biodynamically produced white wines from Tuscany have solidified his reputation as a top producer. Wines like this Riserva are not simply crafted; they are the result of meticulous processes spanning years.

Even in its youth, this wine stands as a remarkable masterpiece. Skilful use of oak contributes to a fresh acidity that beautifully balances the palate. The interplay of creaminess, wood nuances, wine aromas, and acidity creates an engaging experience.

Characteristic flavours of Vernaccia di San Gimignano emerge prominently: delicate fruit notes, citrus hints, and a touch of acacia complemented by subtle vanilla and the unmistakable minerality from the stony soils. It exhibits excellent tension and palate presence, demanding attention with every sip. The finish is prolonged and harmonious, featuring a distinct almond note that adds depth without overwhelming bitterness.

This Vernaccia showcases the grape's potential for ageing gracefully in oak and, above all, its sheer drinkability. Despite its accolades, the essence of any great wine is its appeal to the senses, and Ori 2020 embodies this perfectly.

If you haven't experienced it yet, you're missing out on something truly exceptional.
