San Gimignano Wine Tour San Gimignano seen from the surrounding valley reveals all its beauty, with its medieval architecture and towers that rise above of all others buildings, built centuries ago to symbolize wealth and power. This Unesco heritage offers to visitors a step back in time and an immersion in flavors and smells, with its most famous gelato shop, its Saffron and mostly the Vernaccia.
The Vernaccia di San Gimignano in fact is considered one of the oldest wines of Italy. It is produced with grapes of the indigenous variety, typical of this area situated on the Siena hills. The history of this white wine is tied hand in glove with the origins of the city of San Gimignano, a town that saw its moment of maximum splendor in the Middle Ages.
