Pomino Benefizio Riserva...
Pomino Bianco Riserva DOC<br /><br />'On the road to Pomino I am thrilled every time I discover this unique corner of Tuscany: hills and cypresses suddenly give way to steep slopes, cooler temperatures in<br />summer and snow in winter, magnificent forests of firs and centuries-old sequoias surrounding the vineyards of Chardonnay, planted here since 1855. At an altitude of 700<br />metres, the Cru Benefizio, the first white wine in Italy fermented and aged in barriques, was born in 1973.'<br /><br />Climatic trend<br />The 2021 season will be remembered as a dynamic vintage. After a rainy and mild winter, which had led to a slight advance in budding, temperatures dropped sharply at the<br />beginning of April, slightly slowing the growth of the buds. From May onwards, temperatures began to rise again, leading to a summer that will be remembered for both the<br />beautiful day-night temperature range and the long period of intense heat. The grapes presented themselves at harvest in a perfect state of health, thanks to the mild<br />temperatures and low humidity.<br /><br />Vinification and ripening<br />The Benefizio vineyard is located at an altitude of 700 m above sea level, with a southern exposure and predominantly sandy soil. The Chardonnay grapes were harvested in<br />boxes by hand with extreme care and attention. Once they arrived in the cellar, the pressing they underwent was extremely soft and gentle, allowing a good extraction of<br />clear must, which was further clarified after cold decantation. The musts thus obtained were placed in barriques, 50% new and 50% first-passage, where they underwent<br />alcoholic fermentation and only partially malolactic fermentation. Subsequently, the wine matured in wood, on the lees, with bâtonnage carried out as required. After further<br />bottle ageing, Benefizio Riserva reached its maximum taste-olfactory expression in terms of elegance and harmony.<br /><br />Tasting notes<br />Elegance, expressiveness and body. Benefizio 2021 presents a wonderful straw yellow colour with golden highlights. The bouquet is varied, presenting hints of white fruit<br />such as pear, exotic fruit notes such as mango, banana and pineapple and more citrus notes of candied citron. The citrus sensation is also picked up by hints of orange<br />blossom. On the palate it is savoury and mineral, with an elegant and harmonious finish; the aromatic intensity perceived on the palate is amplified by the alcohol content<br />and the aftertaste of dried fruit. Persistent and long finish.<br />

Franciacorta Extra Brut...
Blànc<br />A fascinating sip fused in a dynamic perlage that translates the essence of the material into refined elegance, whose key to interpretation remains the full structure in a<br />paradigm of unprecedented rationality, the nerve centre of freshness and pungent minerality. Interweavings of impalpable chalkiness, puffs of powder, yellow citrus, almond,<br />salt, broom and honeysuckle are read as tension and depth, an authentic goblet, free gastronomic thought. The gracefulness of the sip is the unmistakable stylistic feature,<br />of which the biting vertical development in an author's palate is surprising.<br />BLÀNC COMBINATION<br />One label and two numbers: 20 vintage variables from 37 selected vineyards. The strength and beauty of vines that are more than three decades old, with roots that dig into<br />the many layers of the terroir, to draw from them distinctive nutrients and unique microelements. The ultimate expression of our Franciacorta.<br /><br />Grapes: Chardonnay 50%, Pinot Blanc 50%.<br />

Very cold winter: February with snow and minimum temperatures as low as -7°C. With the onset of spring, the weather remained cold and damp and the<br />vines began budding about ten days later than usual. From mid-April, an abnormal rise in temperatures to 29°C favoured abundant flower fertilisation. With the arrival of May,<br />however, the rain returned. It was only from 15 July that the real summer was seen, which continued until 25 August with temperatures up to above average, with almost<br />torrid heat in August. The much-desired summer rain arrived in the third ten days of August and met the water requirements of the vines. The harvest that began on 13<br />August gave us a vintage characterised by a very generous nature, well managed by thinning, with beautiful, healthy and perfectly ripened grapes.<br />Average yield per hectare: 8,300 kilograms of grapes, equivalent to 3,570 litres of wine (wine yield: 43%).<br />Vinification: Franciacorta Vintage Collection wines are the fruit of careful grape selection and skilful vinification conducted in full respect of the Ca' del Bosco Method.

A special system washes and whirlpools the bunches, using three soaking tubs and a drying tunnel. After crushing in the absence of oxygen, all the musts of the<br />base wines ferment in small oak barrels. In order to seek maximum aromatic complexity and expressive power, without losing elegance, the barrel elevage lasts only 5<br />months.

After 7 months from the harvest, the cuvée is created.<br />The 2018 Vintage Collection Extra Brut is the result of a skilful blend of 26 base wines of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir that give the finished product a particular<br />profile, rich and complex. The higher proportion of Pinot Noir gives it power and nobility, further reinforced by a long bottle ageing.

The abundant mousse, the very fine perlage and the golden straw colour announce enchanting and suave aromas of pink flowers, ripe citrus fruits and<br />noisettes.

An idea that rises to the sky. This cuvée symbolises purity, energy, freshness and transformation, like the clouds that enchant as they pass.

The choice of no less than 40 vintage selections aims to define an essential, refined and elegant expression, without compromise. A<br />cuvée, of course, designed to last and evolve over time, as immediately expressive as it is long-lived. An exuberant white mousse is accompanied by a perlage of<br />unparalleled persistence and finesse, while the aromas are immediately complex, even in their essentiality.<br /><br />Grapes Chardonnay 75%, Pinot Noir 25%.<br />Training system Guyot<br />Planting density 5000 vines/ha<br />Yield 100 quintals/ha<br />Average age of vines 30 years<br />Harvest period End of August, beginning of September<br />Ageing 45% pièces, 55% inox<br />Dosage < 2 g/l<br />Acidity 7.0<br />
