DOC area for red wines, rosé wines and white wines in the Italian region of Tuscany, 40 kilometres northeast of Florence The zone includes the municipality of Pomino in the province of Firenze. Through Grand Duke Cosimo III. (1642-1723) granted this area (along with Chianti and Carmignano) legal status and a protected designation of origin in 1716. It was revived by the Frescobaldi winery, which operates one of its many wineries here and also owns the majority of the vineyards. The zone with the highest Tuscan vineyards includes the south-western slopes around the Rufina district of Pomino. The vineyards are located up to 700 metres above sea level on the Consuma Pass in the Apennines. If the grapes come from classified vineyards, Vigna followed by the name of the vineyard can be indicated on the label.
