{"product_id":"pomino-pinot-nero-frescobaldi-2023-75cl","title":"Pomino Pinot Nero, Frescobaldi 2023 75cl","description":"\u003cp\u003ePinot Nero in Tuscany sounds like a contradiction, until you find out where Pomino sits. This is a high, cool corner of the hills east of Florence, tucked into the eastern edge of Chianti — limestone and marl soils, a breezy microclimate, and enough elevation to hold onto acidity. That is what lets Pinot behave itself here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pomino estate has belonged to the Frescobaldi family since the 1500s, and they have quietly grown Burgundian varieties here for well over a century. This is not Tuscany trying to be Burgundy — it is its own thing, and better for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colour is a lively ruby with garnet at the rim. The nose leads with flowers — rose and geranium — before black cherry arrives, dusted with cinnamon; time in wood adds a whisper of cocoa and coffee. On the palate it is fresh and dry, the tannins present but polite, closing on a juicy, persistent finish. Velvety is the word the estate uses, and it fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt £31.99 this is a genuinely interesting bottle — an elegant, cool-climate Pinot from an unexpected address, and a lovely conversation starter for anyone who thinks Italy only does Sangiovese. Drink it over the next three or four years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe lightly chilled, around 13–15°C — cooler than you would a Chianti. A Burgundy-shaped bowl flatters the perfume. No decanting needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Drink It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoble Rot Lamb's Conduit Street, where cool-climate reds are the house language. Planque in Haggerston for its cellar-led approach. Bentley's for a lighter red with the raw bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoast duck breast with cherries plays directly to its fruit. Otherwise, mushroom risotto — the earthy, savoury edge is made for it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Decant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56925273850180,"sku":"HO33103B23","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/2551\/9940\/files\/HO33103B23.png?v=1784037565","url":"https:\/\/checkout.houseofdecant.com\/products\/pomino-pinot-nero-frescobaldi-2023-75cl","provider":"House of Decant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
