Le Calcinaie Description
"Le Calcinaie's 2021 Vernaccia di San Gimignano is a bright, crisp dry white to drink now and over the next few years. Lemon peel, orchard fruit and white flowers are all beautifully delineated in this super-expressive, vibrant white. The 2021 offers a captivating balance of aromatics, fruit and structure, with light tropical notes."
The Wine
100 Vernaccia grown in sandy soils at an elevation of 250m. Fermented in steel vats at 16C for 2-3 weeks, followed by aging on the lees until the following spring.
The Estate
Simone Santini enjoys nothing more than a good joke, though he is very serious about winemaking at his small estate, located near the famous town of San Gimignano. Le Calcinaie is one of San Gimignanos youngest wineries. It was founded in 1987 by Santini and in less than no time he transformed it into one of the regions best newcomers. He started with 6 hectares but has now grown to 12 hectares covered with vines. The vines have perfect exposure and are beautifully tended. Classic Vernaccia with good structure, balance and charm.
