At Geografico, each vineyard that comes under management is evaluated by the geologist and the vineyard specialist. They give advice on the best grape varieties and rootstocks. They then assist the owner in setting up the vineyard and constantly in vineyard management. An expert winemaker team makes the wine. Finally, there are state of the art bottling lines. This quality philosophy is combined with terroir-orientation: the grapes for the higher wines always come from one vineyard and are therefore named after their domain. The wines are produced in a classical way with little intervention in the vinification process. This results in honest wines, pleasantly drinkable wines, which are also competitively priced.

San Gimignano is the 'Manhattan of the Middle Ages' and a wonderful place but it is also an appellation where unique wines are made from the Vernaccia di San Gimignano which is made into a dry white wine produced exclusively in the Italian municipality of San Gimignano in the region of Tuscany. The DOCG Vernaccia di San Gimignano was the very first DOC in Italy, it was founded in 1966. In 1993, this appellation of origin was promoted to the DOCG status that it still has today. At least 85% of the grapes used for the wine must be vernaccia and this Geografico Vernaccia di San Gimignano is a 100% Vernaccia.

In the glass the wine is light yellow with an elegant and aromatic nose with lots of white fruit and some spices. In the mouth surprisingly fresh and fruity, with a good structure and a light bitter that gives the wine strength. Just a nice glass of wine.
