Staff Pick Notes

Ohhhhohoho baby. Yes, I’m smitten. Usually I start with some nerdy backstory about appellations and varietal characteristics… uh, nope. This time it’s just giggles and gaping "m'aws." This wine is everything that can go right with prolonged skin contact. Vernaccia from San Gimignano is not strictly a white grape: its golden hue is damasked with pink. When macerated at length, the skins imbue this brightly acidic wine with a body and depth of flavor that is absolutely glorious.
