2024 Teruzzi Isola Bianca Vernaccia di San Gimignano

This lovely Vernaccia di San Gimignano shows off an aromatic profile centered on citrus like fresh lemon and a hint of grapefruit, green apple, white peach, and white flowers, with a subtle mineral undertone. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with firm acidity, showing flavors of citrus, pear, and an herbal note. The wine’s structure is defined by gentle phenolics, a mineral-driven palate, and a characteristic almond-like bitterness on the finish, which adds length and balance. 

Teruzzi, founded in 1974 by Enrico Teruzzi in San Gimignano, is a key producer in the development of Vernaccia di San Gimignano as a modern, quality-driven Tuscan white wine. Working with vineyards on rolling hills of sandy, clay, and marine soils, the estate emphasizes balance and acidity through careful vineyard management and a restrained cellar approach centered on stainless steel fermentation and minimal oak use. Its wines are defined by clarity, structure, and mineral character, and over time Teruzzi has helped establish a consistent, place-driven benchmark for the appellation, reinforcing Vernaccia’s role as one of Tuscany’s most distinctive white wines.
