Pomino Pinot Nero DOC - Castello Pomino

With the Castello Pomino Pomino Pinot Nero, a first-class red wine enters the glass. It presents itself with a wonderfully brilliant, light red color. After the first swirl, this red wine displays a fascinating lightness, allowing it to dance nimbly in the glass. Poured into a red wine glass, this red wine from the Old World reveals delightfully expressive aromas of mulberry, blueberry, plum, and blackberry, rounded off with cinnamon, dark chocolate, and vanilla contributed by the maturation in wooden casks.

The Castello Pomino Pomino Pinot Nero presents itself to wine enthusiasts as wonderfully dry. This red wine is never coarse or austere, but rather round and smooth. The finale of this youthful red wine from the wine-growing region of Tuscany, more specifically from Pomino DOC, is ultimately convincing with its remarkable persistence. The finish is also accompanied by mineral notes from the limestone and marl-dominated soils.

Vinification of the Pomino Pinot Nero by Castello Pomino

This elegant red wine from Italy is made from the Pinot Noir grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Tuscany. Here, the vines sink their roots deep into soils of limestone and marl. Without question, the Pomino Pinot Nero is defined by more than just the terroir of Pomino DOC. This Italian can truly be described as a wine of the Old World, presenting itself in an extraordinarily impressive way. When perfectly ripe, the grapes for the Pomino Pinot Nero are harvested exclusively by hand, without the use of coarse and less selective mechanical harvesters. After harvesting, the grapes are promptly taken to the press house, where they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the Pomino Pinot Nero is matured for another 16 months in French oak barriques. The maturation in barrels is followed by a long bottle aging, which makes this red wine even more complex.

Food recommendations for the Pomino Pinot Nero by Castello Pomino
