This is a small wine region enseated in the larger Chianti region surrounding the worldwide known Medieval town of San Gimignano and it is the area where a unique Tuscan white wine is produced Vernaccia di San Gimignano.

The name of the grape is part of the Denomination itself  "Vernaccia" and it is not comparable to any other white grape so expect to taste a different white wine produced mostly by family owned wineries it is often called a red wine with a white color due to the complexity and the minerality typical of this product and some characteristics similar to a red wine such as the high alcool content ranging from 12% up to 14%.

Along with Vernaccia you will be able to sample red wines ranging from Chianti, Chianti Classico and Supertuscans but also interesting variations such as sparkling whites and rosés (when available). 

A great single day to combine the educational wine tasting tours along with some stunning sightseeing in the west hills of Tuscany, medieval architecture and Unesco site in the hilltop town of San Gimignano.

Accompanied by a professional wine guide and tour leader after visiting two wineries, the towered hilltop town of San Gimignano will top your day.

Extra virgin olive oil, home made pasta, cheeses and farm to table products will be surely part of your experience.

Most likely the day will be 45 minutes drive from Florence or from Siena to the first winery in the morning, lunch based on food and wine pairing and free visit in the afternoon.
