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

The musts thus obtained are placed in barriques, 50% new and 50% first-passage, where they undergo alcoholic fermentation and only partially malolactic fermentation. |
| Aging | Afterwards, the wine is aged in wooden containers on the lees and stirred as necessary. After further bottle ageing, Benefizio Riserva has reached its maximum taste-olfactory expression in both elegance and harmony. |
