The Chardonnay Pomino Bianco Riserva DOC Benefizio by Frescobaldi was obtained from 100% Chardonnay grapes born from the vineyards of the prestigious Castello di Pomino estate at an altitude between 680 and 730 metres above sea level. Following the vinification process, it is aged for 10 months in French oak barriques (50% new and 50% first passage) plus a further 4 months in the bottle. We are facing one of the most refined interpretations of the Tuscan chardonnay that was introduced in Pomino Castle as early as 1855. Benefizio was born in 1973 and immediately held a record: it is the first white in Italy fermented in barriques. With the 2005 harvest it acquires the mention "Riserva".

POMINO BIANCO BENEFIZIO RISERVA FRESCOBALDI: TASTING

The Chardonnay Pomino Bianco Benefizio Riserva by Frescobaldi is announced with the glass of a straw yellow colour with golden reflections. On the nose, it is a sumptuous waltz of aromas of white flowers and candied citrus fruits that are accompanied by delicate toasted notes and sweet spices. The taste is fresh and full-bodied, supported by a good minerality and gentle aromaticity that persists in the long finish. At the table, it goes well with fresh and semi-aged cheeses, vegetarian dishes and fish-based first and second courses.
