Montenidoli is one of my favorite producers in San Gimignano that I admire because of the very pure and symmetrical wines made here. The 2018 Vernaccia di San Gimignano Tradizionale draws its fruit from the typical limestone soils of the area that are rich in ancient marine sediment. With 25,000 bottles made, it sees an easy fermentation in glass-tiled cement vats. It opens to an enriched golden color (maybe even too saturated) with aromas of neutral fruit, peach, pear and Golden Delicious apple. There are slight hints of that limestone soil as well. The mouthfeel ends on a dry note, with pretty honey-like flavors on the finish.
