Pomino

Styles

Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• Predominantly sandy and marly soils, with a siliceous and micaceous character, low clay content, and abundant skeletal matter at higher elevations.
• Vineyards situated between 300 and 750 m above sea level, an altitudinal range considered unique within the Tuscan wine landscape.
• Vineyards oriented predominantly west and south-west, across foothill and upland terrain ranging from high hill to low-to-mid mountain zones.
• A temperate-cool climate for most of the year, with a summer Mediterranean influence that promotes grape ripening and pronounced diurnal temperature variation.
• Annual rainfall between 550 and 700 mm, concentrated approximately 70% in autumn and winter, following a typically Mediterranean distribution pattern.

• The estates of Pomino were acquired in the 1840s by the Albizi family, subsequently passing into the Frescobaldi holdings through marriage.

• Straw yellow with greenish highlights, delicate and fruity on the nose, harmonious and dry on the palate with a lightly bitter finish. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)

• Sandy and marly soils with a siliceous and micaceous character and low clay content favour the more aromatic white grape varieties grown in high-altitude vineyards.
