The aromas arrive with graceful restraint offering a harmonious blend of orchard fruit and subtle floral notes. On the palate, this is a dry and flavourful expression of Vernaccia, crisp and mineral-driven with the distinctive nuttiness and whisper of bitter almond that define San Gimignano's whites. The wine's medium body and herbaceous undertones make it a remarkably versatile food wine. Pair this Vernaccia with creamy pasta dishes where its acidity cuts through richness beautifully, or serve alongside grilled or fried white fish to complement its delicate stone fruit notes. It's equally at home with indulgent cheese-laden macaroni, where the wine's dry character provides welcome balance to the richness on the plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 11.324%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 88.5017%;\"\u003eVernaccia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 11.324%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 88.5017%;\"\u003eDry, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/white-wine\" title=\"View our Full Collection of White Wines\"\u003eWhite\u003c\/a\u003e, Medium Bodied, Delicate, Herbaceous, Orchard Fruit, Nutty, Crisp, Food Friendly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 11.324%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 88.5017%;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"View more Italian Products\" href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/italy\"\u003eItaly\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 11.324%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 88.5017%;\"\u003eTuscany\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 11.324%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 88.5017%;\"\u003e75cl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 11.324%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 88.5017%;\"\u003e13%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 11.324%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDietary\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 88.5017%;\"\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards of this estate extend around the ancient Querceto castle, which dates back to the 16th century, and has been owned by the Francois family since 1897. The family produce a range of high quality Chianti wines in their modern, well-equipped cellar and manage their vineyards carefully, using organic fertilisers and natural pest control to protect the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced from Vernaccia grapes grown in the Querceto vineyards in the hills surrounding San Gimignano, the wine was cool fermented in stainless steel tanks before ageing in tank prior to release. Tuscany is famous for the production of Chianti, but whites from San Gimignano have been increasing in popularity in recent years. Very different in style from international varietals such as Sauvignon, the whites from this area offer a completely different flavour profile with their nuttiness and hints of bitter almonds (in a good way!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wine Importers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57020021899637,"sku":null,"price":16.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/3537\/2571\/files\/BA3F419D-1A04-467E-9320-8FA4C789BE22.jpg?v=1778773921","url":"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/products\/castello-di-querceto-docg-vernaccia-di-san-gimignano","provider":"Aitken's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
