From vintner Simone Santini, the Tenuta le Calcinaie 2019 Vernaccia di San Gimignano is another exciting and fresh white wine made from organic fruit. This Tuscan appellation excels in terms of the high percentage of estates that farm sustainably. In the case of this wine, you get lovely aromas of stone fruit and pear, with salty mineral notes. This is a lean-bodied white that prioritizes primary fruit; however, Tenuta le Calcinaie boasts more textural richness and depth than most. It's a great choice for fried seafood—and a great value to boot.

The 2017 Vernaccia di San Gimignano is a wonderful and bright expression of the Tuscan white grape. You pick up grassy notes, with delicate touches of saffron and crushed pine nut. The wine offers great intensity and brightness, although it is a tad thin in the mouth. Overall, it's refreshing and expressive.

Here's a great value from Tuscany's major white wine appellation. The 2016 Vernaccia di San Gimignano is a snappy and clean expression with crisp tones of citrus and white peach. The wine sails smoothly over the palate imparting yellow fruit flavors and drying mineral tones along the way.

Simone Santini's entry level wine plays its cards well. The 2015 Vernaccia di San Gimignano is a beautifully zesty and crisp wine with citrus definition followed by stone fruit and white melon. Those fruit tones are subdued and refined. The mouthfeel leaves a similar impression of streamlined elegance. White flower aromas seal the deal.
