Benefizio Riserva 2022

Pomino

Download
This single-cru wine grows from a high-elevation vineyard with strong diurnal shifts and sandy soils that grow a beautiful Chardonnay enriched by its fermentation and aging in barriques.

Winemaking

An extremely gentle press and cold settling produces a very clear must that then ferments in barriques, 50% new and 50% second-fill. Malolactic conversion is partially blocked, and the wine then matures on the lees with bâtonnage as needed.

Tasting Note

With a complex bouquet of exotic fruits and floral hints of orange blossom, this wine needs time in the glass to reveal white pepper and sweet spice notes. Creamy with a nice mineral character, the wine shows a persistent, long finish.
