Grape growers and winemakers Flavia Del Seta and Francesco Galgani are steadfastly committed to producing organically farmed Vernaccia di San Gimignano using a minimalist intervention approach to vinification. To that end, their farm is certified organic; they also employ a number of biodynamic practices to enhance the biodiversity in their soils like fertilizing with compost and planting and sowing cover crops.*

Each of their cuvées is vinified using spontaneous fermentation; no cultured or selected yeasts are used to provoke fermentation as native yeasts are allowed to do their magic naturally. The addition of sulfur during the winemaking process and bottling is kept to an absolute minimum.*

The wines, made from younger and older plantings of vernaccia depending on the desired complexity and texture, are intended to be the purest expression of the grape variety and appellation as possible. Known for their freshness and aging potential, these wines are benchmark expressions of one of Italy’s most famous white wines.*

The "Santa Clara" has fresh, citrus aromas and flavors of lemon meringue flanked with notes of melon and honeysuckle. The palate is lush and full yet infused with bright acidity. Subtle accents of white pepper and baking spices appear on the long finish.
