Learn about Vernaccia — taste profile, popular regions and more …
Vernaccia's intricate history is rooted in San Gimignano, whose main village’s quaint restaurants and steep pedestrian-only cobblestone streets make it as romantic—if not more—as any other Tuscan village. The idyllic countryside upon which this vine grows was actually named Italy’s first DOC in 1966.
