A lively white that is named after its character. A wine born of vast lands, from the slopes of the Apennines and the Gran Sasso. Pecorino varietal is a white skinned grape from the Abruzzo region. It has been cultivated in the best vineyard locations for over many centuries.
Vinification: traditional vinification using the reduction technique, this starting right from the harvest; after pressing then follows a maceration of at least four hours, and after this a further soft pressing, cooling of the must and a static cleaning. The fermentation process is now started under controlled temperature for a period of circa ten days after which a cooling of the fresh wine is practiced. It is then transferred for a long contact with selected yeasts before being bottled.
Tasting notes: brilliant, with a most interesting intense and strong yellow glow. Intense on the nose. It has complex hues of exotic fruit and soft notes of spices. In the mouth well-structured with good acidity. You will note persistence and sapidity with great mineral notes and also a very nice and delicate explosion of exotic fruit.
Food pairing: excellent matching with fish-based starter dishes, ideal with all grilled fish and it also goes well with not too complex white meat recipes.
