Low yields of grapes, careful harvest and pressing of this fragile grape, along with conscientious winemaking, have produced Vernaccia wines that continue to grow in quality and fame. Fontaleoni’s Vernaccia di San Gimignano is a lively dry white wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Domain\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cstrong\u003eAzienda Agricola Fontaleoni was established in 1959\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, when Giovanni Troiani decided to abandon his sharecropping activity in the austere countryside of the Marches and try his luck in Tuscany.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe discovery of the gently rolling hills around the pretty medieval village of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSan Gimignano\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e convinced the Troiani family to buy a small farm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the passing of the seasons, the estate progressed from subsistence farming based largely on raising livestock, cultivating cereals and fruit plants, to being specialised in the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eproduction of wine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, the expression of quality of an area with a vocation for the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecultivation of Vernaccia di San Gimignano and Sangiovese\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the early 80s, the explosive and passionate family heir \u003cstrong\u003eFranco Troiani \u003c\/strong\u003ebegan working on the \u003cstrong\u003eestate and Fontaleoni\u003c\/strong\u003e improved the quality of its\u003cstrong\u003e products and decided to bottle its Chianti \u003c\/strong\u003efor the first time.\u003cbr\u003eNow, of the total \u003cstrong\u003e50 hectares\u003c\/strong\u003e, no less than\u003cstrong\u003e 30 are used for the production of high quality wine\u003c\/strong\u003e, much of which is destined \u003cstrong\u003efor the international market\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salveto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44479375671553,"sku":"8032603331450","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/vernaccia.jpg?v=1775329069","url":"https:\/\/arrowine.com\/products\/fontaleoni-vernaccia-di-san-gimigniano-2022","provider":"Arrowine \u0026 Cheese","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
