GINESTRAIO FROM USIGLIAN DEL VESCOVO

SEPTEMBER IN A GLASS: EXTEND THE PLEASURE OF SUMMER WITH IL GINESTRAIO FROM USIGLIAN DEL VESCOVO

September is a month that carries all the charm of a summer slowly fading into autumn: the days grow shorter, yet the mild climate still invites us to savor the final flashes of the sunniest season of the year.

This is the perfect time to sip a wine that blends the carefree lightness of summer with the contemplative depth of the approaching autumn: Il Ginestraio from Usiglian del Vescovo. This extraordinary white wine takes its name from the Ginestra—the sun-loving, wonderfully fragrant flower that grows abundantly among the vineyards of Usiglian del Vescovo.

Il Ginestraio stands out for its elegant character and floral aromatic profile, offering a unique and refined sensory experience. Thanks to its surprising personality, it pairs well with everything, enhancing both simple and sophisticated dishes.

Its intense yellow color is enriched with bright golden hues and green reflections. The bouquet is an explosion of fruity and floral notes, with hints of peach, apricot, linden, and acacia. On the palate, it reveals a soft structure and medium body, delivering a velvety, harmonious sensation. The finish is fresh, clean, and persistent—inviting another sip.

Thanks to its perfect balance between freshness and softness, Il Ginestraio pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes: from a simple pasta dressed with extra virgin olive oil and cheese to a first course with a light tomato sauce. But that’s not all: it’s particularly well-suited to highlight the flavor of San Miniato’s white truffle, and it also pairs magnificently with more elaborate fish dishes.
