Pomino, Firenze

Frescobaldi

Pomino Castello Pomino 2023

Sadly This is no longer Trebbiano and Malvasia. Now it's 90% Chard and 10 % Pinot Grigio.. The Frescobaldi house pulled out all of their Malvasia and Trebbiano due to climate change (and Pomino is among the highest altitude growing regions of Tuscany) - and replaced those vines with these more hardy and more boring varieties.
Interesting that they kept the same exact name and label, but I guess it's all still accurate?

This also very sadly means no more Vin Santo.
Times they are a changing.

Azienda Il Violone

Dòrino Toscana 2018

Very dark rubi robe. Nose of blackcurrant, dark fruits, cedar and asian spices. Hard to have details, not a lot of info available. Modern styled but truly well done. Its an IGT so not traditional Chianti blend. But does seem to have a good dose of Sangiovese. Was excellent next day. We liked it a lot. — 4 months ago

Fontanafredda

Serralunga d'Alba Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

Nuanced and balanced fruit, tannins were balanced/subtle. Hits above the average Barolo for quality at this price point. A perfect wine for lunch to wrap up an Italy trip at a hidden gem of a wine bar in Firenze. — 3 years ago
