Benefizio Riserva 2021

The estate of Pomino dates from 1500, the year the castle of the same name was built, and from the beginning has been famous for the excellence of its location. In the documentation from the year 1716 when the Grand Duke Cosimo III de' Medici identified the four most highly prized territories of Tuscany for the production of wines - the notice is considered the precursor of the modern "DOC"

(Denominazione di Origine Controllata, or Controlled Designation of Origin) - the territory of Pomino is listed alongside Chianti, Carmignano and Val d'Arno di Sopra. At the World's Fair of 1873 in Vienna the wines of Pomino won awards, and in 1878 took the gold medal at the World's Fair in Paris, the highest international recognition of its time.

Eye : Its shiny straw-yellow colour with hints of gold is an introduction to a magnificent structure.

Nose : Its bouquet spans from fruity, to floral, to spicy, ending with delicate tertiary notes. The initial hints of citrus fruits that bring to mind candied orange peel and pink grapefruit, blend in with a tropical one of pineapple. The floral notes that subsequently emerge bring to mind acacia, mimosa and magnolia. Time brings with it a progression of vanilla, cinnamon, roasted hazelnut and a tingling bite of ginger.

Mouth : Its unbeatable elegance showing its structured, creamy and sapid side and its solid, long finale.
