Grapes are from various vineyards in the province of Chieti. Vine of uncertain origin, the Pecorino has been grown for centuries in the central regions of Italy, especially Marche and Abruzzo, where it is known also with different denominations.

The whole grapes are chilled in our exclusive cooling tunnel with immediate drop in temperature and consequent cold maceration of the skin peels. All parcels of juice were fermented in stainless steel tanks with non – oxidative handling procedures. Fermentation was in stainless steel tanks at 8-11ºC. Wine aged for 3 months in stainless steel.

The Pecorino grape is a legendary story of a variety that was literally brought back from the brink of extinction. Elegant and rigorous. It is benchmark wine that embodies power and smoothness. It is one of Abruzzo’s top white wines.

Food Pairing: It can be successfully matched with fish entrées, savoury raw fish, shell fish, all fish dishes.
