The 2019 Vernaccia di San Gimignano Casanuova is laced with apricot, honey, dried herbs and roasted almonds, all of which lend quite a bit of flavor complexity. Drink it over the next year or two. ANTONIO GALLONI, Vinous.

This is a top-level version of their vernaccia and sees an addition of about 5% chardonnay as well as some time in large format French oak. All together there is an extra layer of fruit and depth from the fruit selection while the barrel-work adds some lovely vanillin notes and roasted complexity.
