The castle of Pomino is found in the Apennine mountains to the east of Florence. Its vineyards are the highest in Tuscany, up to 737 metres, and enjoy a fresh and wellventilated microclimate. The Frescobaldi family planted Chardonnay and Pinot Nero here in 1855. The vines are grown in a sandy soil with strong presence of stones,which is rich in mineral elements and very well drained. After a century and a half, these varieties have found their ideal habitat and produce wines of extraordinary elegance, finesse and minerality.
