Pomino Pinot Nero DOC 2022 (750 ml.) Frescobaldi

THE WINE

The Pinot Noir from the Tenuta di Pomino by Frescobaldi is born in one of the most suited areas in Italy for the elegant expression of this noble grape variety. Grown at over 500 meters s.l.m. on the well-drained mountainous soils of the eastern Tuscan slopes, the Pinot Noir benefits from a cool and ventilated climate, ideal for its slow maturation. After manual harvesting, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel with gentle maceration to preserve the fruit and balance. The wine ages in French oak barrels for several months, enriching itself with complexity and harmony. In appearance, it is light ruby red, on the nose it releases notes of cherry, wild strawberries, dried rose, and light spices. On the palate, it is fine, fresh, and velvety, with elegant tannins and a persistent finish. A red of great refinement, perfect with white meats, mushrooms, or autumn cuisine dishes.

THE COMPANY

No other Italian winery can boast the history, prestige, and vision of the Marchesi Frescobaldi. A Florentine family dedicated for thirty generations and for 700 years to the production of great wines, with the constant goal of being the most prestigious Tuscan producer. A reality that has always believed in respecting the land, focuses on the excellence of its grapes, invests in communication and the professionalism of human resources without ever forgetting the respect for tradition and openness to research and experimentation. In 1855, they were the first in Tuscany to plant cabernet sauvignon, merlot, pinot noir, and chardonnay in the estates of Nipozzano and Pomino. In 1894, they built in Pomino, a location not far from Florence, the first Italian winery capable of utilizing natural gravity for transferring from barrels, and during the same period, they distinguished themselves by introducing the "specialized vineyard." In 1989, they acquired the Castelgiocondo estate in Montalcino, and in 1995 they inaugurated the Tenuta Luce della Vite in Montalcino, to which the Tenuta Conti Attems in Friuli was added in 2000. Recent bright projects include the management of the Tenuta dell’Ornellaia in Bolgheri in 2005, and in 2011 the inauguration of the modern winery of Ammiraglia in Maremma.
