Vernaccia
is a white Italian wine, made from the Vernaccia grape, produced
in and around the Italian hill town of San
Gimignano in Tuscany. Since the Renaissance it has been considered
one of Italy's finest white wines. It was the first Italian wine
to be awarded DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata)
status in 1966; on July 9th, 1993 it was upgraded to DOCG (Denominazione
di Origine Controllata e Garantita).
The wine varies quite a lot in style according to its winemaking:
Some producers ferment or age the wine in small French oak barrels,
which gives the wine a tostiness or a creaminess that it doesn't
otherwise have, while other producers make the wine un-oaked, so
that the mineral aromas and flavors shine through more cleary. Some
producers make more than one Vernaccia wine, each a different.
