2016 Teruzzi SANT’ELENA Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG

Made from vernaccia di San Gimignano grapes exclusively grown in the 3-hectare vineyard of Sant'Elena. For Sant'Elena, an imaginary beast came to mind, a magical combination of other animals: a bird's beak, rabbit ears and a squirrel's tail.

Smell and taste: To the nose, it is intense and complex, with a broad, multifaceted aromatic spectrum. Hints of white flowers and citrus fruit blend perfectly with the mineral notes typical of this varietal.
Serving suggestions: White fish
Serve at: Chilled

About Teruzzi: Past, present and future coexist at Teruzzi: a state-of-the-art winery, constantly exploring the most innovative solutions to produce the best wines, while respectful of the local heritage and the Tuscan vine and wine tradition. Teruzzi’s pioneering role, its study of avant-garde methods, rigor and stylistic simplicity go hand in hand with the search for processes that yield personal, authentic wines, full-flavored and expressing the characteristics of their place of origin. Originality, innovation and historical continuity with tradition: this is the Teruzzi style. The logo and the labels pay homage to the Middle Ages, the age of city-states, which was also the time of peak development of a thriving San Gimignano – no dark age, but a time of great human and spiritual evolution, when rationality and irrationality, wonder and deceit, unrest and disbelief merged together.
In 2016, the estate and winery were taken over by Terra Moretti, the holding owned by the Moretti family. The family business is managed by a beautiful and talented Francesca Moretti.
