Here's another pretty Riserva from San Gimignano that demonstrates the aging potential of its headline white grape Vernaccia. From a warm and sunny vintage, the 2015 Vernaccia di San Gimignano Riserva is fermented in oak and sees up to one year of aging in new barrique. Aromas of spice, toasted vanilla and honey-roasted almond are woven together with apricot and preserved lemon. Saffron, cumin and turmeric are dusted over. This is a structured, mid-weight wine with 10,000 bottles made.
