Product Description
La Lastra’s 2022 Vernaccia di San Gimignano is a lively expression of the classic Tuscan white—fresh, mineral, and poised. It balances vibrant citrus and stone fruit with a saline backbone, giving it both appeal for immediate enjoyment and the subtle structure to age. It’s a solid pick for those exploring authentic Vernaccia from San Gimignano with a bit of personality.
Origins & Craftsmanship
-
Produced by Azienda Agricola La Lastra, a family-run estate in the San Gimignano area of Tuscany. Their vineyards emphasize Vernaccia di San Gimignano as their “Tuscany in white.”
-
The vineyard and winery appear to follow organic or low-input practices; in their site description, much of the land is dedicated to Vernaccia vines.
-
The blend is primarily Vernaccia di San Gimignano (DOCG), sometimes with small portions of Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia Bianca Lunga.
-
For the 2022 vintage, the wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel, preserving freshness and varietal clarity.
Tasting Profile
| Component | Notes & Observations |
|---|---|
| Appearance / Color | Straw yellow with bright clarity |
| Nose / Aroma | A complex bouquet including lemon / citrus peel, floral notes, white peach, tropical touches, and minerality |
| Palate / Taste | Fresh and vibrant: citrus (lemon, lime), stone fruit (peach, apricot), saline / mineral grip, tempered by clean structure. The mid-palate is balanced, not overly weighty. |
| Finish | Crisp, lingering mineral note, with fruit echo and refreshing acidity. |
“The nose is expressive with orange rind and mineral also showing hints of lime. The palate is stone fruit with a balanced mid palate finishing with fresh acidity.”
Food & Pairing Suggestions
-
Serve / Temperature: Chill to about 8–10 °C (46–50 °F). Use a medium white wine glass to let aromatics open.
-
Pairings:
• Seafood & shellfish (especially oysters, scallops, sea bass)
• Light fish dishes with citrus or herb accents
• Soft or fresh cheeses (goat cheese, ricotta)
• Tuscan cuisine: herbs, white meats, vegetable dishes
• Salads with citrus or vinaigrette
Because of its minerality and acidity, the wine can also handle slightly richer pairings (e.g. herb-buttered chicken or light garlic shrimp).
