"On my way back to Pomino, I am always delighted to see this unique corner of Tuscany unfold before me: hills and cypresses suddenly give way to steep slopes, with cooler temperatures in summer and snow in winter, and magnificent woods of ancient firs and sequoias surround the Chardonnay vineyards, planted here as early as 1855. Cru Benefizio was born in 1973 at 700 metres above sea level."
