Hidden Tuscany Rating
Spumante metodo classico from Pomino DOC made with Chardonnay from the Leonia vineyard at 700 meters, aged eight years on lees then refined in bottle. No distinction is mentioned and the bottle is listed at €93.26, a high price for a DOC without awards.
The Pomino Spumante Bianco DOC appellation and the Leonia vineyard at 700 m are named; Chardonnay is consistent with the classic method but is an international grape variety, not Tuscan.
No distinction or guide is mentioned for this cuvée, which keeps the rating in the lower range of the absence of information.
At €93.26 (crossed-out price €117.57), the bottle sits high for a DOC without distinction, despite eight years on lees; the crossed-out price is a positive point.

Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine for a moment the invigorating freshness of a Tuscan sparkle, a rarity that defies clichés. This Pomino Spumante Leonia is the elegance of Chardonnay raised at 700 meters altitude, a symphony of finesse and character that will surprise you.
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, the Pomino estate rises on privileged lands. It is here, on the Leonia vineyard, at 700 meters altitude, that Chardonnay finds its purest expression. The Pomino Spumante Bianco DOC guarantees the origin and quality of this sparkling wine, a testament to ancestral know-how and a passion for the terroir.
This wine is made using the classic method, with a second fermentation in the bottle, a guarantee of complexity and finesse. It waited eight long years on the lees, then benefited from additional aging in the bottle, giving it remarkable depth and maturity. When tasting, you will discover a brilliant pale yellow color, adorned with golden highlights, and fine, persistent bubbles that dance in the glass. On the nose, I perceive delicate aromas of citrus, peach and apricot, interwoven with notes of yellow apple, spring flowers and a subtle touch of hazelnut and pastry. On the palate, its liveliness is balanced by an elegant roundness, offering a long and harmonious finish that invites the next sip.
This Pomino Spumante Leonia is a true gastronomic chameleon. Serve it well chilled as an aperitif, it will awaken your taste buds with its freshness and complexity. It will pair wonderfully with delicate seafood, fresh cheeses or even roasted poultry. It is the perfect wine to celebrate the small victories of everyday life or to mark the great occasions, a wine that transforms every moment into a precious memory. Let yourself be tempted by this Tuscan sparkle, you will not regret it.
