Vernaccia di San Gimignano Vigna Santa Margherita DOCG

The Strength of the Mother Vine.

Single vineyard

The Santa Margherita vineyard is the oldest estate cru that is home to vines about 50 years old, the mothers of all other Vernaccia vines subsequently planted on the estate. This is our wine of the heart, complex and strongly territorial. The old vines are the real secret of this wine. Thanks to the intimate bond created over the decades between vineyard and environment, the resulting wine is the most strongly territorial. This deep connection can be read in the richness of the material, a structure capable of holding up to a stop in wood that defines its natural elegance even more. Low yields allow only limited production.
