Castello di Pomino Leonia Pomino Brut Metodo Classico 2018
A bold wine that conveys the desire to take new paths; courageous, determined, expressive and elegant like the great-great-grandmother Leonia, who inspired this innovative wine. Leonia was the first to plant the French varietals at Pomino, vinifying them in the first Italian gravity-flow winery and receiving the gold medal at the Paris Expo in 1878.

Perlage

Fine, elegant perlage.

Colour

Straw yellow with golden reflections.

Bouquet

This Classic Method wine has mineral notes and notes of white spring flowers such as hawthorn. Hints of acacia honey, pastry and white-fleshed fruit such as the September peach follow these. On the finish, there is no lack of more evolved aromas reminiscent of dried fruit.

Flavour

The opening is clean and clear, and the effervescence tickles all the taste buds without attacking them. It also favours the perception of a definite creaminess. The finish is long and recalls the softness of caramel and the aromaticity of liquorice combined with some toasted notes.

Origin Village of Pomino, Town of Rufina (Florence).
Harvest By hand, with 15 kg crates during the most chill hours of the day.
Vinification Once in the cellar, the grapes were subjected to a slow and gentle pressing that allowed the must to be extracted from the heart of the berry. Once the cuvée was obtained, a 12-hour cold clarification was carried out, which allowed for the decisive clarification in creating the qualitative harmony typical of Leonia. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks at a constant, controlled temperature; a part was fermented in wood.
Ageing In March, following the harvest, the different cuvées of Chardonnay and Pinot Nero were blended, followed by the addition of liqueur de tirage and re-fermentation in the bottle with subsequent ageing on the lees for at least 32 months. The process finished with riddling and disgorgement followed by further bottle ageing.
