The Wine
Tuscany is best known for its fine red – Chianti – but taste this super honeyed lemon and leafy spice Vernaccia and you’ll wonder why there isn’t equal clamour for the region’s whites. It’s from the Strozzi family – one of the oldest in Italy, whose estate in San Gimignano, the best area for Vernaccia, dates back to AD 994. They were powerful bankers and statesmen, rivals to the Medicis. Niccolò Machiavelli began his career in their employ and they count Lisa Gherardini del Giocondo, the ‘Mona Lisa’, among their ancestors. They are even distantly related to Winston Churchill, and the current generation comprises two princesses, Natalia and Irina. With citrus, peach and spice notes, this elegant white is a great match for risotto or seafood.
"Very tasty. Enjoyed this very much. Lots of flavour. 5-Stars"
