Bianco Pomedes, Scubla (75cl)

Ranked among the top Italian white wines, Pomedes is more than just a standout in our portfolio - it holds a deeply personal place in our story. As one of the very first wines we imported over 20 years ago, Pomedes has long been a favourite of our team and our clients, earning a loyal following among those who seek elegance, complexity, and authenticity in their white wine.

Produced under the Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC appellation, Pomedes is a masterfully crafted blend of Pinot Bianco, Friulano, and Riesling, three grape varieties that thrive in the cooler, hillside vineyards of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The wine is fermented and matured in new French oak barriques, lending it a refined structure and subtle oak influence that enhances, rather than masks, its naturally expressive aromatics.

In the glass, Pomedes delivers a rich and elegant profile. Expect layered aromas of ripe orchard fruit, hints of citrus and tropical notes, with subtle touches of vanilla, spice, and toasted almond. On the palate, it is full-bodied, powerful, and impeccably balanced, with vibrant acidity and a long, persistent finish that makes it an ideal match for refined dishes. The careful oak ageing provides depth and finesse, positioning Pomedes confidently alongside the best white wines of Burgundy or Alsace.

Over the years, Pomedes has received widespread critical acclaim, including the coveted Tre Bicchieri (Three Glasses) award from Gambero Rosso - one of Italy’s most prestigious wine accolades - as well as high ratings from major wine guides. Yet beyond the medals and scores, what makes Pomedes truly special is the emotional connection it inspires.

The wine takes its name from Pomedes, a mountain refuge in the Italian Alps, where winemaker Roberto Scubla and a friend once took shelter during a sudden storm. In that moment of stillness, surrounded by dramatic peaks and silence, the idea for this wine was born - an expression of shelter, harmony, and timeless beauty in liquid form.

Whether you're a seasoned wine lover, a sommelier seeking new white wine icons, or simply someone in search of a bottle with soul and story, Pomedes is a wine that delivers an unforgettable experience with every glass.
