Winemaker Notes
The Azienda Agricola Il Palagetto was founded in 1991 in San Gimignano and immediately distinguished itself for its effort to concentrate on quality. The famed Oenologist Tachis was the chosen wine maker. The farm is no longer a small local entity. It now encompasses over 200 acres all of which are located in Tuscany. The activities taking place on the farm are varied and, along with wine, include the production of olive oil, honey and saffron; all of which are produced using the proper combination of traditional and modern methods. A bed and breakfast, using restored farmhouses, is operated on the premises. The entire Nicholai family, Fina, Luano and children Sabrina and Simone, are involved in the daily administration of the farm.
Vernaccia's intricate history is rooted in San Gimignano. The idyllic countryside upon which this vine grows was actually named Italy’s first DOC in 1966. Somm Secret—The 13th century marks its first written record and the grape was celebrated widely in literature, namely poems by Dante and Franseco Redi.
Producing some of Tuscany’s best white wines based on its own variety called Vernaccia, San Gimignano is a small appellation to the west of Chianti centered around the romantic village of the same name. Vernaccia produces a fruity and floral white with plenty of verve on the palate and often a fresh note of raw almond.
