“Campo della Pieve” Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG 2021 (BIO)

Il Colombaio di Santa Chiara | Tuscany
Az. Agr. Il Colombaio di S. Chiara | Loc. San Donato 1 | IT 53037 San Gimignano

The Campo della Pieve vineyard (approx. 380 metres above sea level) faces south-west and has thicker soils and more tufa. The most recent parcel, which was recently acquired, is the highest to date at 400 metres above sea level. The site is more susceptible to wind and has good water retention thanks to the heavier clay soils.

Bright, light golden yellow colour. Delicate nose of fresh yellow apple, some peach, lemon balm, flint in the background. Round and smooth on the palate with a lovely balance between acidity, freshness, citrus and tropical fruit, plus a subtle minerality. In keeping with the characteristics of the Vernaccia grape, the wine is not overly fruity, but displays an exciting spiciness that lends it personality and an additional arc of tension. SUPERIORE.DE

"Superb fruit flavours; pleasing with its polish, elegance and finesse, which it also gets from the longer maceration." Vinum

"Pale straw yellow with a golden centre. Fragrant and elegant bouquet of yellow apple and lemon balm, with a flinty aftertaste. Fresh and almost sparkling on the palate, with a direct attack, very fresh and taut, with a long finish." Falstaff

"The Il Colombaio di Santa Chiara 2021 Vernaccia di San Gimignano Campo della Pieve has a fresh and bright bouquet. There are aromas of orchard fruit, golden apple and hints of spicy saffron that I always find in my favorite Vernaccia-based wines. This cement-aged expression is primary and young, but it also has the depth and spicy mineral notes to give this bottle an extra edge." Wine Advocate

"A Vernaccia of crystalline elegance. Fermented in steel, matured on the lees. Citrusy on the nose, especially Sorrento lemon and apricot, a beautiful floral profile with hawthorn that enhances the sense of smell. Spicy on the palate, with good freshness and crispness until the end of the sip." Luca Gardini
