~ Winemaker's Notes The mineral undertones of Vernaccia make it a mouthwatering companion to seafood. Enjoy with grilled shrimp, softshell crabs or bitter.
Fontaleoni is a small estate whose vineyards are located at 200 meters above sea level, the ideal altitude for growing the Vernaccia varietal. Low yields.
