FRESCOBALDI POMINO BIANCO 2006



Quick fact: Pomino is an Italian Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) within Tuscany. Pomino Bianco is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco.

I bought this white to go with a mushroom risotto I made, and it complemented the meal perfectly. The wine is nicely balanced; I enjoyed the lack of tightness and acidity that I usually taste in most whites. It had good fruit flavours and noticeable minerals. An excellent wine.

Score:
