FRESCOBALDI POMINO BIANCO

Frescobaldi Pomino Bianco DOC

Brilliant straw-yellow, almost crystalline colour in appearance, with slight greenish reflections. Like in its DNA, the nose has clear hints of green apple and pear, but the floral component is equally intense, with a rich bouquet of white and yellow flowers among which linden, hawthorn, wisteria, lily and mimosa are recognisable. The final aromas recall exotic fruits such as mango alongside notes of acacia honey. In the mouth it is straightforward, very fresh, slightly tangy and minerally. Even on the finish, its “mountain” character is emphasised by a pleasant freshness with citrus overtones.

Pomino Bianco | Range | Marchesi Frescobaldi

From one of the areas of Tuscany most suited to white wine production, at altitudes reaching 700 metres, a highly refined and elegant blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc.

The grapes were harvested as carefully as possible. The care taken in the vineyard as well as the subsequent processes in the cellar helped to guarantee a high level of quality. Since entering the cellar, the grapes and consequently the musts were processed in an oxygen-free environment as far as possible. The pressing cycles were chosen to allow gentle extraction of the musts. Alcoholic fermentation was carried out in steel tanks and a small portion in French oak barriques, all at a controlled temperature. At the end of its production process, Pomino Bianco continued to undergo bottle ageing. Only after this further period was it ready to introduce the public to its structure and explosive freshness.
