Terruzi & Puthod Vernaccia di San Gimignano 2005 (Tuscany)


A light, fresh vernaccia. Brilliant straw yellow in color, the nose is delicately floral and fruity; medium-bodied, fresh and minerally, with notes of honey and pears on the palate; elegant, with a crisp, consistent finish. Located in the heart of Tuscany, Terruzi & Puthod is one of the finest producers of Vernaccia. Like many Italian white wines other than the droll Pinot Grigio, Vernaccia is a terrific wine with unique flavors and complexity that is unfortunately often overlooked.
