Founded in 1987 by Simone Santini, Tenuta le Calcinaie is one of San Gimignano’s youngest wineries and is already regarded as one of the region’s best producers, due to the detail and meticulous care that Simone has invested over the years in his vineyards. Situated just a few kms outside the medieval walls of the historical town of San Gimignano (in the province of Siena), the name comes from ‘calce’ meaning lime in Italian and referring to the typical soil found in this pocket - limestone, found just under the surface and originating from marine deposits in the Pliocene epoch millions of years ago. Vernaccia is a focus for Simone, as he believes that the sandy and limestone rich soils allow him to produce wines from this grape with great minerality and sapidity while still allowing generous fruit flavour, something this grape can lack. Being a thinskinned variety, the Vernaccia vineyards with plantings from 87, 99 and 2009, have been thoughtfully sited with a north-east exposure to protect them from the sun, but also allowing for a longer growing season and resulting in beautifully balanced, physiologically ripe fruit and wonderful acidity
