Montenidoli, Vernaccia di San Gimigniano Fiore, 2024 CS20230815 That's the spirit here: minimalistHigh in the hills above San Gimignano, Elisabetta Fagiuoli has spent decades championing Vernaccia, Tuscany's great native white, through organic farming and an unhurried, hands off approach. Fiore is her purest expression: made entirely from free run juice with no skin contact, fermented and aged at length on the lees in stainless steel. That gentle handling makes it the lightest and most delicate of her Vernaccia bottlings, all clarity and lift.
