Castello Pomino Benefizio Bianco Riserva 2024

The Benefizio single-vineyard site lies at an elevation of about 700 meters?which ensures cool nights and, as a result, a great deal of freshness in the wine despite its pure south-facing exposure. This Chardonnay is fermented and aged in French oak barriques (50% first-fill) with aging on the fine lees and partial malolactic fermentation. The result is a wine that captivates with its interplay of creamy density and fresh vibrancy. The nose reveals floral notes such as orange blossom, broom, and magnolia, as well as ripe stone fruit and subtle oak notes. On the palate, there is a light, elegant interplay of fruity freshness and barrel-derived spice, followed by a long-lasting finish with mineral and salty undertones.
