Firm and salty cheese?  Certainly.

Capellini tossed with garlic, olive oil, and sautéed mushrooms?  Now you are speaking my language!

This classic Vernaccia can be dressed up or down, given its unmistakable tangy finish.

Apple, pear, and white flower notes marry with crunchy, rocky minerality from Montenidoli, which is one of the few estates in the area with sought-after limestone soil.  Mineral-driven texture lends itself to golden fruit and a depth that will pair with your favorite pasta and lean meat dishes.

How Is This Wine Not More Expensive?

We love this Tuscan white for its texture and richness without overwhelming the palate and maintaining its fruit and acidity balance.

You will ask yourself as we did, "How is this wine not more expensive?"

Do not over-chill before serving.  As we have said before with well-made whites, serve on the warmer side of cold to allow the acidity and aromatics to come to life in your glass.

Stock up!  The importer did not bring in much; it is a fantastic white that can be enjoyed all year round with a wide variety of cuisine.  Last night I enjoyed it with homemade chicken milanese topped with fresh arugula, sautéed tomatoes, and aged balsamic.  It was fantastic!!  

Repeat- stock up!

Cheers!
