Pomino Bianco for short. I know what your thinking, it’s winter and your talking about a white wine. What’s with that. Couple of things, it won’t be winter forever and what are you going to drink with all those delicious chicken and seafood recipes you’ll cook in the next 3-4 months. Surely not a Shiraz or Cabernet?
I’m also guessing your thinking they produce white wine in Tuscany, I thought all they grew was Sangiovese? They do in fact grow several different white varietals there, Vermentino being the most popular but I have a feeling this blend is destined to be more popular in the future.
With their Tuscan vineyards situated at an elevation of 700 meters and ideally suited to producing impressive, elegant well balanced wines, this stands as a great example of what can be produced from this section of Tuscany. This blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and a ‘small percentage of complementary varieties’ is impressive from the enticing nose of floral and fruit notes to the soft approachable mouthfeel balanced with impressive acidity. The palate is finely woven layers of apples, pears, citrus (grapefruit and orange) and white peach leaving a crisp refreshing impression on a long finish.
