Tasting Notes
Montenidoli’s 2020 “Carato” Vernaccia di San Gimignano shows the depth and elegance that come from Elisabetta Fagiuoli’s old‑vine fruit and her signature use of large, neutral oak. The wine typically opens with aromas of golden apple, pear skin, almond, wild herbs, and subtle honeyed notes, all lifted by a saline breeze that reflects its Tuscan hillside origins. On the palate it is textured and structured, richer than most Vernaccia yet still driven by vibrant acidity, offering layers of orchard fruit, citrus peel, chamomile, and a gentle spice from time spent in wood. Its combination of weight and freshness makes it a natural partner for dishes like saffron risotto, roasted chicken with lemon and herbs, grilled swordfish, seafood pasta, or aged pecorino, each pairing highlighting the wine’s interplay of minerality and depth. Fermentation in wood follows the style of the Templars, giving this white an echo of Burgandy. It becomes a rich white, a nose full of different perfumes, full in the body and long in the aftertaste.
