Panizzi San Gimignano

Giovanni Panizzi's estate on the San Gimignano plateau; the reference producer for premium Vernaccia di San Gimignano. Organic farming on tufa-rich soils; single-vineyard Vigna Santa Margherita is the estate's flagship. Low yields; barrel-aged version shows Vernaccia's ageing potential. Panizzi proved Vernaccia di San Gimignano belongs among Italy's serious white wines.

Panizzi's Vigna Santa Margherita Vernaccia di San Gimignano Riserva demonstrates the variety's capacity for complexity and age; it is consistently rated among Italy's finest white wines and has elevated the entire appellation's reputation. Essential reference for understanding Tuscan indigenous white wine.
