Cappella Sant Andrea Clara Stella San Gimignano Vernaccia 2018 $39.99 
From the San Gimignano appellation in Tuscany comes this lean, lovely, lemony white wine made from 100% organically grown vernaccia grapes, that opens up in the glass and with every swirl and sip gives you something different to enjoy. Dry yet generously proportioned and shows brightness, juiciness, crushed seashell minerality and creamy, nutty, bitterness to round out an electrifying finish. There’s a squeak of green nectarine revealing itself in every sip.
(Pronounced ‘ver-natch-ah’ (a double ‘c’ in Italian always gives a ‘ch’ sound) from San Gimignano (soft ‘g’ and the ‘gn’ in the middle is a ‘nyah’ sound – so “San zheemi-nyah-no” is the way to say it like a boss.)
