Hidden Tuscany Rating
The Pomino Bianco DOC from the Tenuta Castello di Pomino, in Rufina (Firenze), blends Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco fermented in steel and barrique. At €17.76 for a 75 cl DOC without distinction, the price seems high, and neither organic service nor production is specified.

Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the air is pure and the hills are green. It is here, in the Rufina region, that a white wine is born which whispers stories of tradition and refinement: the Pomino Bianco DOC from the Tenuta Castello di Pomino.
The Tenuta Castello di Pomino is a historic estate, nestled in the heights of Tuscany, an area often associated with robust red wines, but which harbors unsuspected white treasures. The Pomino Bianco DOC comes from a harmonious blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco, grape varieties that find a particularly elegant expression here. This high-altitude terroir, with its specific microclimates, gives the grapes a distinct freshness and aromatic complexity, far from Tuscan clichés.
When you pour this wine, you discover a bright pale yellow color, sometimes enhanced with green reflections that betray its youth and liveliness. On the nose, I first perceive sparkling citrus notes, like lemon or grapefruit, then delicate aromas of white flowers that blossom. On the palate, it is a symphony of flavors. The freshness of the citrus is balanced by a slightly creamy texture, bringing a subtle roundness. I also find lightly toasted notes, discreet, which reveal a well-controlled aging. The vinification, partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in barriques, at controlled temperature, contributes to this complexity, before a final bottle aging that refines its character.
This Pomino Bianco is an invitation to conviviality. I highly recommend it for a sunny aperitivo, where its freshness awakens the taste buds. It will also be an excellent partner for vegetarian antipasti, highlighting the flavors of fresh seasonal vegetables. If you love seafood, know that it pairs wonderfully with firm-fleshed fish, such as a simply grilled sea bass or sea bream fillet. Its delicacy and structure make it a wine that adapts without ever fading, adding a touch of elegance to every bite. It is a wine I love to share, a well-kept secret of Tuscany that deserves to be discovered and savored.
