Hidden Tuscany Rating
This Pomino DOC 2023 from Frescobaldi is a sweet late-harvest white, chardonnay-dominant with traminer, pinot bianco and pinot grigio, to be served at 8-10°C with aged cheeses or pastries.
The Pomino DOC appellation named with the production zone and four grape varieties detailed (70% chardonnay, traminer, pinot bianco, pinot grigio), but no Tuscan variety in this blend.
No award or guide mentioned for this vintage; the producer Frescobaldi is named, which remains a mere absence of distinction.
At €21.52 for 50 cl, the price scaled to 75 cl reaches €32.28 for an undistinguished sweet DOC white: expensive for what is described, despite the crossed-out price.
Precise pairings (aged cheeses, dolci da forno), aromatic profile described (ripe fruits, honey, flowers) and serving temperature indicated at 8-10°C.
The Frescobaldi estate named and located in Pomino, late harvest and controlled fermentation specified, brief ageing in steel or neutral wood, but without duration or farming practices.

Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine for a moment the golden light of a Tuscan late afternoon, caressing sun-drenched grape clusters. It is from this image that Frescobaldi's Pomino DOC Vendemmia Tardiva is born, a sweet white wine that tells of nature's patience and generosity. It is a liquid caress, an invitation to slowness and pleasure.
The Frescobaldi estate, whose history is intimately tied to that of Tuscany, grows its vines in the Pomino region, in the heart of the Chianti hills. This terroir, characterized by its altitude and cool climate, offers ideal conditions for late harvest. It is here that chardonnay (70%), traminer aromatico (10%), pinot bianco (10%) and pinot grigio (10%) thrive, benefiting from prolonged sunshine that concentrates their natural sugars.
This 2023 vintage stands out with its intense golden hue, a promise of aromatic richness. On the nose, you will perceive notes of ripe fruit, honey and delicate floral touches, a bouquet that evokes sunlit gardens. On the palate, the wine reveals itself velvety and persistent, offering a balanced and complex sweetness, the fruit of controlled fermentation and brief aging in steel or neutral wood. It is a symphony of flavors that coats the palate with elegance.
This Pomino DOC Vendemmia Tardiva is the ideal companion for your indulgent moments. I particularly recommend it with aged cheeses, where its sweetness will balance the cheese's intensity. It also elevates dolci da forno, those homemade pastries that recall the flavors of childhood. Picture it with a dried fruit tart or crunchy biscuits. It is a wine that invites conviviality, to share a moment of sweetness after a good meal, or simply for the pleasure of contemplative tasting.
