This is a luminous and brilliant white wine. The 2015 Vernaccia di San Gimignano Vigna Santa Margherita is laced with subtle notes of garden herb and basil leaf. Otherwise, the wine is redolent of peach, kiwi, honeydew melon and a distant touch of spicy saffron. It feels light and fresh in the mouth. The wine is partially fermented in neutral oak (50% of the volume), with the other half in stainless steel.
