Montenidoli Description
Montenidoli is literally and figuratively a mountain above the appellation of San Gimignano. It is a large estate of roughly 200 hectares, though just 24 hectares under vine, on a mountainside overlooking the picturesque town of San Gimignano with Chianti Classico in the distance. Elisabetta Fagiuoli is pivotal figure when talking about the last 50 years of Tuscan winemaking. In fact, 2020 marked her 50th vintage produced! Many people think of Vernaccia di San Gimignano as a simple white wine meant to be consumed fresh and young, though the whites of Montenidoli prove that does not have to be the case. While the wines show well on release, they greatly improve both with extended aeration in the glass or decanter as well as with bottle age.
Tasting Note: Visual Golden straw yellow. Bouquet Herbal and almond perfumes. On the Palate Rich and dry, with a long aftertaste
Wine Pairing: Mediterranean cuisine based on olive oil, fried and raw fish, sushi, oysters and shell fish. Iron, rich and tannic vegetables.
