  I admit to some sentimentality with Vernaccia di San Gimignano because I have been there and had it there at some outdoor restaurant beneath those towers. That was a long time ago, but fortunately our taste buds let us travel back in time. I like this rendition of it. There may be better, but this is fine. It is a slightly acidic, thirst-quenching wine that quaffes well on its own but is good with chicken with sauce, pasta, etc. meals that need something that can cut through. It is not a great wine - does not dance on the tongue like a really marvelous wine. But it tastes very Italian and serves its purpose well.

  Famosa pelas torres que pontilham a cidade, erguidas como salvaguardas para anteciparem a aproximação de inimigos, a cidadela medieval de San Gimignano, possui uma longa e rica história que remonta ao século XIII. Vernaccia di San Gimignano foi o primeiro vinho DOC declarado na Itália, em 1966. Palha-claro e verdeal, média intensidade aromática com notas florais, cítricas e minerais sobre melões, ervas frescas e leve amendoado. Leve, escorregadio, frescor crocante e altivo. Algum exotismo em sua secura, final médio e mineral. Seu hint mineral o torna bom companheiro da mesa marítima com crustáceos salteados ao azeite e alho. Esteve, entretanto, diante de uma exuberante Mini cocotte a Lulu, um tom abaixo em aromas e estrutura, não logrando a armonizzazione que esperada (2+2 = 3).

  Medium yellow. Not much aroma. Medium weight, some gloss. Subdued underripe pineapple and some soil at the end. Just bland, neutral wine.
