($25, Artisans Wines, Inc.): Montenidoli is one of the very best producers of Vernaccia di San Gimignano.  Anyone who has been disappointed by this category of Italian white should taste their wines to see how grand this DOCG can be. Montenidoli makes three Vernaccia di San Gimignano; this one, made from free-run juice and labeled Fiore (flower) is, indeed, floral, fresh and clean.  An invigorating wine, it manages to convey a subtle, though appealing nuttiness, while still retaining freshness and energy.  It has unusual depth and length for Vernaccia di San Gimignano.  It’s a great choice for simply grilled fish.
