Pomino Bianco DOC 2021 – Frescobaldi

As soon as the grapes to produce Pomino Bianco Frescobaldi arrive in the cellar, they, and the resulting must, have the least contact with oxygen possible. The pressing cycles are chosen to allow for a gentle extraction of the must. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel vats with 15% in French oak barriques to add subtle complexity, all at controlled temperatures. At the end of the production process, Pomino Bianco Frescobaldi is aged in the bottle for a few months prior to release.The castle of Pomino is found in the Apennine Mountains to the east of Florence. Its vineyard is the highest in Tuscany, at altitudes of up to 737 metres above sea level, and it enjoys a fresh and well-ventilated microclimate. The Frescobaldi family first planted Chardonnay here in 1855. After a century and a half, this variety has found its ideal habitat and produces wines of extraordinary elegance, finesse and minerality. The current vines have an average age of 21 years and are grown in sandy, clay soils of good depth.
