It originates in \u003cstrong\u003ePomino\u003c\/strong\u003e, at the Pomino Castle, from vineyards cultivated at high altitude, and tells a story of refined, fresh, and complex style, designed for those seeking a white wine with structure, personality, and excellent expressive capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTerritory and wine style\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe production area is located between \u003cstrong\u003e680 and 730 meters above sea level\u003c\/strong\u003e, in a context that favors temperature excursions and a slow, harmonious maturation. The soils, rich in sand and skeleton, are very draining and impart a clear mineral imprint. The southwest exposure and vineyard care contribute to producing a precise, tense, and at the same time enveloping wine. Aging in barrique, with a portion of new wood, adds complexity and depth without overshadowing the character of the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents a bright yellow color with golden reflections. On the nose, typical citrus notes of Chardonnay emerge, particularly pink grapefruit and lemon peel, accompanied by hints of vanilla, cinnamon, white flowers, and a delicate toasting. The palate is fresh, balanced, and pleasantly smooth, with a creamy progression that recalls mousse and white chocolate in the finish. The structure is elegant, supported by a pleasant salinity and refined persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefizio Pomino Bianco Riserva DOC 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs well with seafood preparations and dishes with a soft yet flavorful texture.
