Description

The first Italian wine to be classified as DOC in 1966, and since then DOCG thanks to its continually increasing quality. This wine goes back to the time of Dante and Boccaccio. Michelangelo mentions it in his writings and he refers to it as "the wine that tingles, bites and stings". It has always been a favourite amongst classy gourmets, princes and popes. In The Divine Comedy, Dante immortalizes it as deserving a place in Purgatory, where punishment for gluttons constitutes the absence of eel and Vernaccia! Interestingly enough some experts believe that the Tuscan Vernaccia originated in Liguria, in the Cinque Terre area, at Vernazza.

Only the best grapes are carefully selected from our vineyard Vigna del Sole, and thereafter fermented in small oak casks for at least six months. The final result is that of a truly agreeable wine which is soft and tastes like bread crusts, vanilla and almond. This Vernaccia is further refined by spending another eight months in the bottle before being sold.
