Whenever I'm on the road to Pomino, I love exploring this unique corner of Tuscany: hills and cypress trees suddenly give way to steep slopes, cooler summer temperatures and snowy winters, as well as magnificent centuries-old fir and sequoia woods that surround the Chardonnay vineyards planted way back in 1855. In 1973, the Benefizio Cru was created at an altitude of 700 metres, the first white wine in Italy to be fermented and aged in barriques. - Lamberto Frescobaldi
Denomination: Pomino Bianco Riserva DOC
Grape Variety: Chardonnay
Tasting Notes:
Benefizio, once again, shows its extreme elegance. Its shiny straw-yellow colour with hints of gold is an introduction to a magnificent structure. Its bouquet spans from fruity, to floral, to spicy, ending with delicate tertiary notes. The initial hints of citrus fruits that bring to mind candied orange peel and pink grapefruit, blend in with atropical one of pineapple. The floral notes that subsequently emerge bring to mind acacia, mimosaand magnolia. Time brings with it a progression of vanilla, cinnamon, roasted hazelnut and atingling bite of ginger. On the palate it confirms its unbeatable elegance showing its structured, creamy and sapid side and its solid, long finale.
Vinification & Maturation:
The Benefizio vineyard stands at an altitude of 700 m a.s.l, is south-facing and has a mostly sandy soil. The Chardonnay grapes are hand-harvested in crates with extreme care and attention. Once transported to the cellar, the pressing they undergo is extremely soft and gentle, allowing the clear must to be properly extracted right from the beginning, and it then undergoes acold clarification process after decanting. The musts obtained are then put into barriques, 50% of which are new and 50% of which are being used for the first time. It is here that the alcoholic fermentation and part of the malolactic fermentation takes place. Following this, the wine is aged in wooden containers on the lees and stirred as necessary. After further bottle ageing, Benefizio Riservaachieves its maximum taste-olfactory expression in both elegance and harmony.
