Toscolo 2023 Vernaccia di San Gimignano

Toscolo’s 2023 Vernaccia di San Gimignano is a classically vibrant expression—bright, refined, and terroir-driven. It delivers fragrant florals, crisp orchard and citrus fruit, vibrant minerality, and that signature Vernaccia almond bitterness on the finish. With a fresh, medium body and high drinkability, it’s an excellent everyday white that embodies the character of San Gimignano. A lovely pick if you're after Tuscan whites that are serious yet accessible.
