2025 Geografico Vernaccia di San Gimignano
How does this wine taste?
How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inAt Geografico, every vineyard coming under management is evaluated by the geologist and the vineyard specialist. They provide advice on the best grape varieties and rootstocks. Subsequently, they assist the owner with vineyard layout and provide ongoing vineyard management. An expert winemaking team produces the wine. Finally, there are state-of-the-art bottling lines. This philosophy of quality is combined with a focus on the terroir: the grapes for the higher-end wines consistently come from a single vineyard and are therefore named after their estate. The wines are produced in a classic manner with minimal intervention in the vinification process. This results in honest, pleasant-drinking wines that are also competitively priced.
San Gimignano is the 'Manhattan of the Middle Ages' and a wondrously beautiful place, but it is also an appellation where unique wines are made from Vernaccia di San Gimignano, including a dry white wine produced exclusively in the Italian municipality of San Gimignano in the Tuscany region. The DOCG Vernaccia di San Gimignano was Italy's very first DOC; it was established in 1966. In 1993, this appellation was promoted to the DOCG status it still holds 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 featuring plenty of white fruit and some spices. On the palate, it is surprisingly fresh and fruity, with good structure and a slight bitterness that gives the wine power. Simply a delightful glass of wine.

Wine features

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.
Lichtgeel van kleur, deze 2025 Geografico Vernaccia di San Gimignano toont elegant wit fruit, frisse citruszuren, een subtiele kruiden- en minerale toets en een aangenaam licht bittertje dat voor structuur zorgt. Daardoor sluit hij vanzelfsprekend aan bij schelpdieren, pasta, pizza, salades en vegetarische gerechten; denk aan spaghetti vongole of gegrilde courgette met citroen waar de zilte en rokerige tonen de frisse zuren en mineraliteit benadrukken, en aan salade met venkel en sinaasappel of bruschetta waar het citrussappel en de anijsachtige venkel nog verder tot leven brengt, vooral wanneer vis of groenten lichtgegrild of met olijfolie en citroen worden bereid om de frisse, kruidige kant van de wijn te versterken.
