PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
La Lastra’s 2022 Vernaccia di San Gimignano is a lively expression of the classic Tuscan white—fresh, mineral, and poised. It balances vibrant citrus and stone fruit with a saline backbone, giving it both appeal for immediate enjoyment and the subtle structure to age. It’s a solid pick for those exploring authentic Vernaccia from San Gimignano with a bit of personality.
Produced by Azienda Agricola La Lastra, a family-run estate in the San Gimignano area of Tuscany. Their vineyards emphasize Vernaccia di San Gimignano as their “Tuscany in white.”
The vineyard and winery appear to follow organic or low-input practices; in their site description, much of the land is dedicated to Vernaccia vines.
The blend is primarily Vernaccia di San Gimignano (DOCG), sometimes with small portions of Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia Bianca Lunga.
For the 2022 vintage, the wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel, preserving freshness and varietal clarity.
| Component | Notes & Observations |
|---|---|
| Appearance / Color | Straw yellow with bright clarity |
| Nose / Aroma | A complex bouquet including lemon / citrus peel, floral notes, white peach, tropical touches, and minerality |
| Palate / Taste | Fresh and vibrant: citrus (lemon, lime), stone fruit (peach, apricot), saline / mineral grip, tempered by clean structure. The mid-palate is balanced, not overly weighty. |
| Finish | Crisp, lingering mineral note, with fruit echo and refreshing acidity. |
“The nose is expressive with orange rind and mineral also showing hints of lime. The palate is stone fruit with a balanced mid palate finishing with fresh acidity.”
Serve / Temperature: Chill to about 8–10 °C (46–50 °F). Use a medium white wine glass to let aromatics open.
Pairings:
• Seafood & shellfish (especially oysters, scallops, sea bass)
• Light fish dishes with citrus or herb accents
• Soft or fresh cheeses (goat cheese, ricotta)
• Tuscan cuisine: herbs, white meats, vegetable dishes
• Salads with citrus or vinaigrette
Because of its minerality and acidity, the wine can also handle slightly richer pairings (e.g. herb-buttered chicken or light garlic shrimp).
