Castello Pomino
Pomino Bianco 2024
Promino Bianco Doc
Pomino Bianco is a refined Tuscan white from the historic Pomino estate, blending Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco to reflect the elegance of the high-altitude vineyards. Crafted with a gentle pressing and fermentation in both steel and French oak, it maintains balance and complexity. The wine shows a shimmering straw yellow color, with aromas of citrus, pear, and green apple, complemented by floral notes of wisteria, chamomile, and hints of tropical fruit like pineapple. Crisp, mineral, and superbly balanced, it is a true expression of Tuscan terroir.
VINEYARD
Vineyards are nestled among the mountainous forests, steeply sloped, and at an altitude between 450 and 730 meters above sea level, facing southwest. Soils are brown, deep, and fine-textured, mainly marl-sandstone substrates and slightly acidic. There is excellent luminosity, and the clarity and freshness of the area shine through the wines.
WINEMAKING
After careful harvesting, alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel tanks and a small portion in French barriques, all at controlled temperatures.
VINTAGE
The 2024 Tuscan growing season was largely favorable, starting with a mild winter and spring, followed by a hot, dry summer. Heavy rains in May and June replenished water reserves, helping vines endure the summer heat. August rains arrived at the right time, balancing sugars and acidity for optimal ripening. The harvest was demanding but rewarding, with good yields and excellent grape quality. This vintage marks a recovery from the lighter 2023 vintage.
TASTING NOTE
Straw yellow color with fresh notes of green apple, pear, citrus, and floral hints of hawthorn and wisteria. Creamy with honey touches, it's vibrant, mineral, and perfectly balanced on the palate.

Benefizio Riserva
Pomino
Castello Pomino Benefizio Riserva is a cru Chardonnay from a high-elevation vineyard with diurnal shifts and sandy soils. The grapes are hand-harvested, pressed and fermented in barriques, with partial malolactic fermentation and aging on lees. Cru Benefizio first came into being in 1973 as the first white wine in Italy to be fermented and aged in barriques. The wine showcases a straw-yellow color with golden highlights, complex aromas of pear, exotic fruits and citrus with a sapid, mineral character. It finishes with a long, persistent aftertaste of dried fruit.
