Teruzzi & Puthod Vernaccia di San Gimignano (75cl, 12.5%)

Teruzzi & Puthod Vernaccia is a Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG white wine from Tuscany, Italy, at 12.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Produced on the largest Vernaccia estate in the appellation, with 60 hectares of the grape across 94 total hectares under vine, it comes from an estate founded by Enrico Teruzzi and Carmen Puthod and now owned by the Lunelli Group since 2010. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by extended ageing on fine lees. The wine shows white flowers and acacia, ripe peach, aromatic herb, mineral and citrus notes on the nose. The palate brings lemon zest, grapefruit, yellow apple, apricot, white almond and a faint honeyed richness, balanced by vibrant acidity. The finish is medium, with bitter almond and lingering mineral sensations.
