La Casa Rossa Vernaccia di San Gimignano Riserva

A Noble Expression of Vernaccia’s Heritage.
La Casa Rossa Vernaccia di San Gimignano Riserva is the pinnacle of Tuscan white winemaking — a wine that showcases the full potential of the legendary Vernaccia grape. Cultivated on the sun-drenched hills around San Gimignano, this Riserva is carefully selected from the finest parcels, then aged longer than the standard Vernaccia to develop remarkable complexity, elegance, and depth.

In the glass, it gleams with a golden straw hue and offers a captivating bouquet of ripe pear, white peach, citrus zest, almond blossom, and delicate minerality. The palate is structured yet vibrant, with layers of fruit, subtle honeyed notes, and a refined, lingering finish that reflects the unique terroir of the Tuscan hills. A brief period of lees ageing enhances its texture and adds a creamy sophistication, making this Riserva a wine of distinction and finesse.

For wine lovers in Ireland, Vernaccia di San Gimignano Riserva delivers a luxurious taste of Tuscany’s finest whites. Perfect with grilled fish, shellfish, light poultry dishes, or creamy risottos, it is ideal for special occasions or for those who want to experience a premium Italian white wine with elegance and personality.

Why we love it:
This Riserva reveals the noble side of Vernaccia with its fuller body and layered character. Bright citrus and floral notes remain vivid, but they are joined by toasted almond, honeyed nuances, and a subtle creamy texture from careful ageing. It’s a wine that invites slow sipping, making it a wonderful companion for sophisticated dining or quiet moments of reflection in Ireland’s cozier settings. The organic farming ensures purity in every glass, connecting drinkers directly to the Tuscan soil and sun.
