Spumante DOC 'Leonia' Pomino Brut Vintage 2018 (750 ml.) - Frescobaldi

THE WINE

Spumante Brut 'Leonia' Pomino by Frescobaldi is a Classic Method Millesimato born on the Castel Pomino estate in Tuscany. Bold sparkling wine that expresses the desire to take new paths, courageous and determined, with an expressive and elegant character. Its color is a wonderful bright straw yellow. The perlage is fine and consistent, caressing and elegant on the palate, suggesting a delicate creaminess. The intense and complex bouquet ranges between citrus notes such as cedar and bergamot, hints of peach and floral aromas of hawthorn and broom. The hints of pastry and bread crust are clearly evident, flanked by hints of honey and partly candied and partly toasted fruit. The entry into the mouth is clean, the minerality and flavor are beautiful.

THE COMPANY

No other Italian winery can boast the history, prestige and vision of the Marchesi Frescobaldi. A Florentine family dedicated for thirty generations and for 700 years to the production of great wines, with the constant goal of being the most prestigious Tuscan producer. A company that has always believed in respect for the territory, focuses on the excellence of its grapes, invests in communication and in the professionalism of human resources without ever forgetting respect for tradition and openness to research and experimentation. In 1855, first in Tuscany, they planted cabernet sauvignon, merlot, pinot noir and chardonnay, in the estates of Nipozzano and Pomino. In 1894 they built in Pomino, a town not far from Florence, the first Italian winery able to exploit the natural gravity for the decanting from the barrels and are distinguished, in the same period, for the introduction of the "specialized vineyard". In 1989 they bought the estate of Castelgiocondo in Montalcino and in 1995 they inaugurated the Tenuta Luce della Vite estate in Montalcino, to which the Tenuta Conti Attems in Friuli was added in 2000. Last luminous projects concern the control of Tenuta dell'Ornellaia in Bolgheri in 2005, and in 2011 the inauguration of the modern winery of Ammiraglia in Maremma. All wines labeled "Marchesi Frescobaldi" are born from the passion, experience, skill and love for an elected territory, Tuscany, which has become the ideal cradle of high quality wines. With a vineyard area that, at the moment, is almost one thousand hectares, and with an annual production of around seven million bottles, from the Chianti area to the Pomino area, from Montalcino to the Maremma, the perfect knowledge of the environment and the uniqueness of the terroir allows to guarantee a constant quality and a marked personality of the wines, all - none excluded - exceptional. Labels, those of the "Marchesi Frescobaldi", elegant and harmonious, balanced and involving, exciting and unique.
