San Gimignano
San Gimignano rises with the profile of his towers, on a hill to domain of the Val d'Elsa. Vineyards, olive-trees and woods are the constant of the San Gimignano landscape: one of the most beautiful environments of Italy is where first is born the wine which has obtained the first Italian DOC. The name of the vitigno and the wine "VERNACCIA of SAN GIMIGNANO" has the roots of his notoriety sinked into the really far centuries and this deserved reputation which derives from his highly appreciated qualitative characteristics, is transmitted to us by the Official Acts, literature passages and historical documents. Dante Alighieri himself, while wondering among the gluttons of his Purgatory, happens upon Foreste Donati. He indicates to Dante an old man (Pope Martino IV) who is paying the price for having stuffed himself with eels and Vernaccia.
