The fame of La Vernaccia is connected to its region of origin, San Gimignano - an ancient Tuscan hill town known for its medieval towers.
The Vernaccia wine grape is mentioned as early as 1276 in San Gimignano's records and Dante's Divine Comedy. Its name is thought to originate from the word 'Vernaculum', which means 'of the place'. It is the etymological root of the English word 'vernacular.'
