Castello Pomino - Frescobaldi

Castello Pomino - the hidden jewel of Tuscany

Castello Pomino is one of the most outstanding wine-growing areas in Tuscany - and not just since yesterday, but for several centuries.

The vineyards, situated up to 737m above sea level, were already among the four most important wine-growing areas of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany at the time of Cosimo III de Medici.

In Pomino, since the middle of the 19th century, mainly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir have been cultivated, producing excellent wines at the higher altitudes. in 1984, Marchesi de' Frescobaldi, on the family estate Castello die Pomino, is the pioneer of barrel transfer by gravity in Italy, which preserves the wine and does not whisk unnecessarily.
