The grapes grow on \u003cstrong\u003eclay and sandy soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideal for giving the sip a clear flavour texture and a distinct mineral imprint. The continental climate, mitigated by Mediterranean influences, ensures consistent ripening of the bunches. The history of the grape variety dates back to the 13th century; confirming its prestige, Vernaccia di San Gimignano was the first Controlled Designation of Origin (DOC) in Italy dedicated to a white wine, subsequently also recognised as a Guaranteed (DOCG) designation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest of the Vernaccia di San Gimignano takes place between September and October. The vinification begins with \u003cstrong\u003eskin maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e in the press, followed by soft pressing.
