The Castle of Pomino produces the Pomino Rosso DOC using the grapes Sangiovese, Black Pinot, and Merlot. Matured for 15 months in oak barriques and refined for a year in the bottle. The color is ruby red, the aroma is intense and vigorous, and the taste is velvety and persistent.
Tasting Notes – 2006
Pomino Rosso shows a lively, purple-veined ruby color in the glass. Full-fruited aromas of dark cherry and wild red berries predominate, enriched by pungent spice and wild herbs. The wine has exceptional balance in the mouth, where a judicious amount of alcohol blends nicely with well-calibrated tannins and a tangy, delicious acidity. It concludes with a savoury finale that is sustained and expansive.
