Borgo Tollena’s Barbara Giotti takes us through a tasting of her estate’s wines in San Gimignano, Tuscany.
Given that it was Italy’s very first DOC (1996, upgraded to DOCG in 1993), I do find it odd that more attention isn’t paid to San Gimignano’s Vernaccia wines.
Since I first tasted wines from the region some 25 years ago, things have come a hell of a long way, and this Tuscan treasure is going through something of a renaissance.
Earlier this year we visited San Gimignano’s mist-shrouded spires to speak with Borgo Tollena‘s Barbara Giotti about the region’s wines, and how things have evolved within the region over the years.
