Casa Lucii DOCG Vernaccia di San Gimignano 2019

 

Fresh and floral. Perfect for every occasion

"... opens with citrus notes such as lime and grapefruit and light exotic hints, then intriguing sensations of white flowers to end with mineral memories and Mediterranean maquis, sage and thyme. The taste is crunchy, citrine, with floral notes enriched by creamy perceptions and bread crust. The vibrant acidity accompanied by a great roundness and fullness gives a unique character to this white wine in the land of reds...".

Wine and Vintage

"...as every year, to enhance the salient characteristics we have tried to combine the scents of the grapes of some of the company's vineyards and the concentration of the grapes of others. In particular, the 2019 vintage had a cold and rainy spring, a sweltering June and summer downpours accompanied by cool nights that allowed a slow and late ripening with surprising results in terms of scents and flavor...".

Label

The label represents the main building used in ancient times as a hospitable convent as mentioned on a papal bull dated 1260. Nowadays the building together with the other parts, the farmhouse, the barn and the cellar, constitutes the core of the farm and the family. Above, in the center, the wind symbol represents the strength of renewal. There is a red variant of this label for Chianti Fuscelli.
