It is a small walled town known for its towers and medieval architecture, still well preserved, and is considered a UNESCO World Heritage site. The province of San Gimignano and the local grape “Vernaccia,” probably the most ancient grape of the area, was produced in San Gimignano since the XIII Century; since 1993, a D.O.C.G. wine, also made in different areas
it can’t have this particular denomination because of the specific kind of soil in this area.
