Castello di Pomino

Suitable as an aperitif, it is perfect with vegetable appetisers and with all fish dishes.

The weather conditions of this vintage were marked by a rather early flowering cycle in the vineyards, in late May. In fact, temperatures typically seen in summer months were recorded in this period. It is no coincidence that summer 2022 will be remembered as one of the longest in recent years. In the first part of the summer period, plant shoots grew and flower clusters set faster than normal, thus offering excellent uniformity in the vineyards. In July, however, the vines adapted to the outdoor environment, slowing down their initial momentum to protect themselves from the summer heat. The timely rain on Assumption Day in mid-August finally resulted in clear musts with a fragrant appearance and taste.

The grapes were harvested as carefully as possible. The care taken in the vineyard as well as the subsequent processes in the cellar helped to guarantee a high level of quality. Since entering the cellar, the grapes and consequently the musts were processed in an oxygen-free environment as far as possible. The pressing cycles were chosen to allow gentle extraction of the musts. Alcoholic fermentation was carried out in steel tanks and a small portion in French oak barriques, all at a controlled temperature. At the end of its production process, Pomino Bianco continued to undergo bottle ageing. Only after this further period was it ready to introduce the public to its structure and explosive freshness.
