Producer Info: Castello Pomino is the ‘hidden gem’ of Toscana. Pomino DOC is the highest appellation in Tuscany, with intense sunshine & wide temperature ranges & only one other producer makes wine from this tiny appellation. The wine-making story began in Pomino in the 16th century, but it was in the mid 1800’s that Leonia degli Albizzi, wife of Angiolo Frescobaldi brought about significant innovation. Born in Burgundy, she boldly cultivated Chardonnay & Pinot Nero at this high altitude & built the first gravity-fed winery. The vines thrived & the elegant Pomino wines were produced to wide acclaim, first receiving the gold medal at the Paris Expo of 1878. These stylish wines still have a wonderful luminosity, minerality & finesse to this day. Gambero Rosso awarded Frescobaldi with the prestigious ‘Tre Bicchieri Winery of the Year Award 2020’, in recognition of its uncompromising commitment to quality & innovation.
