Hidden Tuscany Rating
Frescobaldi's effervescent Pomino DOC, Chardonnay made by the classic method aged at least 24 months on lees, to be served chilled with fish and appetizers. Its main drawback: no distinction mentioned and a price brought down to €112.73 for 75 cl, high for this rank.
Pomino DOC appellation and Pomino zone named, Chardonnay consistent with this ventilated high-altitude terroir; classic-method sparkling style well established.
No award or guide mentioned; producer Frescobaldi is named, but without any distinction attested in the sources.
At €112.73 for 75 cl, a high price for a Pomino DOC without distinction; the 1.5 L format and the strikethrough price do not make up for this rank.
Precise pairings (antipasti, fish, appetizers), floral and fruity profile described, serving at 6-8°C indicated: a supple wine to serve as an aperitif.
Frescobaldi named and located in Pomino; classic method and minimum 24 months on lees specified, with no detail on the harvest or farming.

Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the fresh mountain air meets the gentleness of the hills. It is here that an effervescent wine is born that defies clichés, a Pomino DOC signed Frescobaldi, which invites you to a sparkling and unexpected experience.
The Frescobaldi estate, rooted in the Pomino region, benefits from a unique microclimate. The altitude and constant ventilation favor a perfect aromatic balance for the vines. This Leonia Pomino Éternelle Millesimato, from the 2015 harvest, is crafted using the classic method, a guarantee of finesse and persistence. It is a Chardonnay that expresses itself here with an entirely Tuscan elegance, far off the beaten path.
Upon opening, this wine reveals itself with a luminous straw-yellow color, announcing its liveliness. On the nose, I perceive delicate floral notes, aromas of white-fleshed fruits, and that subtly yeasty touch, the result of aging for at least 24 months on lees. On the palate, you will discover a vibrant freshness, a creamy texture that envelops the palate, balanced by a pleasant sapidity that underscores its structure. It is an elegant and fresh wine, a lovely surprise for lovers of bubbles.
This Pomino DOC is an invitation to conviviality. I highly recommend it for a refined aperitif, where it will charm your guests. It will gracefully accompany seafood antipasti, light fish dishes, or even soft cheeses. It is the ideal companion for celebrating a special moment, or simply for treating yourself to a moment of pure Tuscan elegance. Let yourself be tempted by this authentic bubble, it will transport you directly under the Pomino sun.
