Pomino Vinsanto perfectly embodies the Tuscan tradition. The combination of the Pomino territory, the typical varieties and the
historical production process give rise to sensations that are unique in their kind: sweetness and freshness
balance each other perfectly. The prolonged drying and the long maturation in wood give an intense and
complex meditation wine, with an intriguing and varied bouquet.
Climate trend
During the last 2017 season, at Castello di Pomino, few rain events were recorded both in the winter and
spring periods. Temperatures were fairly normal, except for the month of January which
was quite cold. Budding began in the first weeks of March and despite a drop in
temperatures in the month of April, the buds were not damaged, giving way to flowering in the
month of May. At the end of the month, half of the vines had completely flowered, earlier than in previous years. The lack of rain in the summer did not cause any problems as the estate's soils were very fresh and deep. This, together with good soil preparation, saved from water stress. The veraison took place at the end of July and the harvest, also given the precociousness of the season, was quite early.
