Sauvignon Blanc “Gemella” 2024 from the Bindella winery (Tenuta Vallocaia Estate) is a Tuscan white that focuses everything on freshness and aromatic intensity, produced in the prestigious Montepulciano area.

Here is the detailed description for the 2024 vintage:

🍷 Sensory Characteristics

It is a wine that is striking for its liveliness and varietal cleanliness.

• Visual Examination: Pale straw yellow color, very bright, with obvious greenish reflections that anticipate its freshness.

• Nose: The bouquet is broad and expressive. Notes typical of the varietal such as grapefruit, passion fruit, boxwood and broom are discernible, accompanied by hints of green apple and a slight chalky minerality.

• Taste: The palate is taut, juicy and vibrant. The acidity is well present and refreshing, balanced by good structure and a mineral savoriness that gives remarkable persistence.

🛠 Data Sheet

• Producer: Bindella – Vallocaia Estate.

• Grapes: 100% Sauvignon Blanc.

• Production area: Montepulciano (Siena), Tuscany.

• Vinification: Fermentation in steel tanks at controlled temperature (12-14°C) to preserve aromatic precursors.

• Aging: About 6 months in steel on its own yeasts before bottling.

• Alcohol content: Generally around 13% to 13.5% vol.

🍽 Matching and Service

Its aromatic nature makes it perfect for:

• Aperitifs: Ideal with vegetable appetizers or fresh cheeses (great with goat cheese).

It is a wine “of courage,” as the winery itself often calls it, since growing a quality Sauvignon Blanc in the lands of Vino Nobile requires meticulous management to prevent the Tuscan heat from flattening its typical acidity. The 2024 vintage proves to be elegant and very enjoyable even in its youth.
