Really enjoyed this San Gimignano vernaccia from Elisabetta Fagiuoli. Honey and hay on the nose, the palate is redolent with ripe stone fruit, honeysuckle and a slightly waxy texture that coats the tongue. Almond and peach pit come through half way with a decent hit of acid. Not recommended for the oaky, buttery chardonnay crowd.

Needs time to open. After 30 minutes was an excellent example of the varietal. Light/medium body, light golden color , Refreshing flavor with a slight pear/almond finish.

The wine looks light gold colored. The legs are medium. It smells like hay/straw and almond. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has high acidity.

Really good, with the texture especially noteworthy and intriguing. Baked apple notes on the palate, along with custard. Unfortunately, did not hold up well overnight, as the main taste the second night was apple juice.

More savory than fruity, which is a welcome relief. Really very old school, but fresh and clean and full of personality. Absolutely killer.
