Description
Still red wine from Tuscany, 12.5% ABV, produced by Castello Pomino - Frescobaldi. Blend: 95% Pinot Noir, 5% Sangiovese. 0.75L bottle, 2022 vintage. A Pinot Noir born in a historic location, where Tuscan winemaking tradition blends with a desire for innovation. Once harvested, the Pinot Noir grapes were fermented in 60hl truncated cone-shaped oak vats at a controlled temperature and with manual punching down, especially in the early stages, which promotes the proper extraction of anthocyanins and polyphenols from the skins. Maceration lasted 13 days. Alcoholic fermentation was followed by malolactic fermentation in French oak barriques. The Pinot Noir continued to age in barriques for another 15 months. Intense and elegant, with aromas of red berries such as blackberry, plum, blueberry, and cherry, followed by light balsamic notes of mint and nutmeg. The finish offers notes of tobacco and dark chocolate. A beautiful balance between flavor and aroma, with remarkable freshness and balance. An elegant and velvety wine with silky tannins and a long, appetizing finish.

The castle dates back to the 1500s and is well-known for its excellent location. However, the most significant testimony dates back to 1716, when Grand Duke Cosimo III de' Medici identified the four most suitable territories in Tuscany for producing Quality Wines.
The document, considered the forerunner of modern DOCs, lists the Pomino land along with Chianti, Carmignano and Val d'Arno di Sopra.
Since that date, the wines of Castello Pomino have won many awards: they were awarded in 1873 at the Universal Exhibition in Vienna and in 1878 won the Gold Medal at the Paris Expo, the highest international recognition at the time.
Today, Castello Pomino still stands for Tuscan winemaking tradition, combined with a desire to innovate and expert know-how. Brightness and minerality for a signature Tuscan wine. Read more
