Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself on the Florentine hills, where the air is pure and the vine flourishes. It is from this privileged terroir that Leonia Pomino DOC Brut is born, a Tuscan sparkling wine that genuinely enchanted me with its elegance and finesse.
The Frescobaldi estate, whose history is intimately linked to that of Tuscany, cultivates its vines in the heights of the Florence region, within the Pomino DOC appellation. This high-altitude terroir offers ideal conditions for viticulture, allowing the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varieties to express their full subtlety. The 2021 vintage of this Leonia is the fruit of a rigorous selection, reflecting the estate's commitment to quality.
When I pour it, this Pomino DOC Brut reveals itself with a luminous straw-yellow color, dotted with green highlights and animated by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, I am immediately seduced by its vibrant and fresh bouquet, where delicate notes of bread crust, white-fleshed fruit and subtle floral nuances mingle. On the palate, the balance is remarkable: an acidic freshness harmoniously marries an enveloping softness, all enhanced by a pleasant sapidity. It is a sparkling wine of beautiful complexity, refined for 36 months on the lees using the classic method, which gives it remarkable persistence and finesse.
This Leonia Pomino DOC Brut is an invitation to conviviality. I see it perfectly as a refined aperitif, capable of whetting the appetite and awakening the senses. Its versatility also makes it ideal for accompanying varied antipasti or delicate fish dishes and seafood. It will enhance these dishes without ever overshadowing them, bringing a touch of freshness and elegance to your meal. It is a sparkling wine to share to celebrate precious moments, a true Tuscan gem that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
