Pecorino

Green fig and yellow melon open with rosemary and sage. The palate is round and full, then lifted by zesty acidity and a thread of mineral freshness. Mint, chamomile, candied citrus and tart green apple add detail before a long, crisp finish. A focused match for grilled fish, shellfish, herb-led pasta or fresh cheese.

Pecorino comes from the Campotino Vineyard at Collecorvino in Abruzzo. Production includes overnight cryomaceration, complete fermentation in stainless-steel tanks and two months of bottle rest at the estate. The profile is saline, mineral and textural. The wine carries 12.83 percent alcohol, 3.35 pH and total acidity of 6.78 grams per litre. Production totals 4,106 cases.

Pecorino and Chardonnay form the blend. Fermentation and ageing take place in concrete, using grapes from vineyards around 300 metres. Nettle, daisy, almond blossom and apple appear in a pale-yellow wine with a savoury, slender palate and stony character. Biodynamic farming excludes systemic chemical treatments, while the cellar uses no selected yeast, fining, filtration or synthetic processing aids.

Salted herbs, butter and cheese rind meet fresh pineapple and lime. Citrus remains prominent, while peach gives the palate a full, rich feel against abundant acidity. Made entirely from Pecorino, the wine is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel. Its official profile also records ripe yellow fruit, floral character, freshness, persistence and a mineral note, with thirteen percent alcohol.

The colour is intense straw yellow. Ripe yellow fruit, aromatic herbs and light spice are present. The wine is made entirely from Pecorino grown on limestone and clay soils at about 290 metres. Grapes are harvested by hand and fermented with indigenous yeasts. Maturation lasts nine to twelve months in tonneaux, large casks and concrete tanks. The wine is neither fined nor filtered.
