San Gimignano 2019 vintage: See San Gimignano, Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG, San Gimignano Rosso DOC

2019: Giuseppe Passoni of the Mormoraia estate told me 2019 saw a frost post-bud-burst, a wet May, and OK summer and a nail-biting autumn harvest (Anteprima 2019). ‘A tough cool season albeit with a nice autumn,’ one grower told me (Anteprima 2020). Marco Giusti of the Fornacelle estate told me ‘you had to wait and be patient to pick well in 2019’. Those who had clean fruit and waited made really super wines.
