The Gold Standard of Tuscan Whites – Now in a Celebration-Sized Magnum.
Experience the 2022 vintage of the wine that redefined what Vernaccia can be. The Vigna Santa Margherita isn’t just a white wine; it’s a statement of elegance, structure, and history. Harvested from a single, 50-year-old vineyard and partially fermented in French oak, this "cru" bottling offers a richness and longevity rarely found in Italian whites.
The 1.5L Magnum format is not only the ultimate centerpiece for your next dinner party but also the ideal vessel for aging, allowing this complex wine to develop its signature mineral and honeyed notes even more gracefully.
Tasting Profile
-
The Look: A brilliant, deep straw yellow with shimmering golden reflections.
-
The Nose: Complex and inviting. Layers of white peach, apricot, and grapefruit are interwoven with delicate notes of magnolia, hawthorn, and a hint of vanilla from its time in barrique.
-
The Palate: Round and substantial. A velvety texture carries flavors of yellow melon and crushed flint, balanced by a vibrant, citrus-driven acidity that leads to a long, savory finish with a characteristic hint of salted almond.
Why the 2022 Vigna Santa Margherita?
-
A True "Cru": Sourced exclusively from the Santa Margherita vineyard, where 50-year-old vines dig deep into tufaceous sands and clay to produce concentrated, mineral-rich fruit.2
-
Masterful Winemaking: A sophisticated blend of stainless steel (for freshness) and French barrique (for weight and spice), followed by 12 months of bottle refinement before release.3
-
The Magnum Advantage: The larger volume ensures a slower oxidation process, preserving the wine’s vibrant acidity while allowing the "tertiary" notes of flint and spice to integrate beautifully.
Pairing & Serving
This is a gastronomic white wine built to stand up to flavorful, hearty dishes.
-
Ideal Pairings: Truffle-based pastas (Pici al Tartufo), roasted lemon-rosemary chicken, grilled sea bass, or aged Pecorino Toscano.
-
Serving Temp: Best enjoyed moderately chilled at 11–13°C (52–55°F) to allow the bouquet to fully open.4
-
Glassware: Serve in a wide-bowl white wine glass to enhance its aromatic complexity.
