Castello Pomino Leonia Éternelle 2014

Leonia Éternelle 2014 from Castello Pomino is a Pomino spumante metodo classico, labelled Frescobaldi. Made from Chardonnay grown at 700 metres, it rests for nine years on the lees and is aged for a further six years in bottle after disgorgement. Bright golden yellow with fine, persistent bubbles, it shows citrus, peach, apricot and apple, followed by almond, hazelnut, bread crust and yeast. The palate is creamy, elegant, balanced and enveloping, with good length. It suits refined dishes, including linguine with lobster.
