Tenuta Ulisse Terre di Chieti IGP Pecorino 2024 (Italy)

Description

Dry, Floral, Lemon

Sourced from the Terre di Chieti ICP of Abruzzo, this is the top example of Pecorino that the team at Tenuta Ulisse produce each year. This white wine is made in a new world style, with passionfruit aromas jumping out of the glass with citrus and white florals. On the palate, it is wonderfully fresh with lemon zest, fruit, and a great acidity and a lick of salt. This is tight, classy pecorino and definitely worth a look.

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: The wine has a bright yellow colour with greenish tinges. Fruity aroma with citrus, tropical nuances, white peach and exotic fruits like papaya. It has a lingering and very fresh taste with a slightly balsamic finish. Medium acidity and good structure. It can be successfully matched with fish entrées, savoured raw fish, shell fish, all fish dishes.
