The 2008 Vernaccia di San Gimignano Fiore is stunningly beautiful. It comes across as fresher than the Tradizionale, with endless layers of clean, impeccable fruit. Perfumed white peaches, flowers and mint inform the textured, caressing finish. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2015. This is a fascinating set of wines from Montenidoli. The Vernaccias in particular show the complexity this variety is capable of in the right hands. Importer: Artisan Wine, Norwalk, CT; tel. (203) 866-4552
