Background
Vernaccia was served at the Court of the Medicis as a ‘’remedy against an overfull stomach…’’ the Cusona estate itself has been producing wine since 994. Not many of our suppliers can claim a 1000 year wine-making history! The Vernaccia grapes used in the production of the wine are from old vines planted in the 1980s by Prince Strozzi. They are carefully selected to enhance their freshness.
Winemaking
The sparkle is created using the Charmat method, but a period of several months lees aging gives a more complex flavour.
Fun Fact
The family can show an anscestral link to the Mona Lisa and to Winston Churchill.
