The description below comes from the retailer. Bottle details and price comparisons are listed above.

Il Vello is a zippy, vibrant Italian White Wine from the hillside vineyards of Abruzzo, within reach of the beautiful Adriatic coast. The name is a nod to 'Pecora', meaning sheep, from which the Pecorino grape takes its name. Produced by Adria Vini, a winemaking venture established in 2003 and jointly owned by Boutinot and Araldica Castelvero, this is a wine of genuine character and refreshing drinkability.

Why You'll Love It

This is Pecorino at its most expressive. The proximity of the Adriatic gives the wine its typical lean, savoury character and mineral edge, while the hillside clay, sand and gravel soils contribute freshness and precision. Vegetarian and vegan, it offers outstanding quality and value for a crisp, mineral-driven Italian white. Vineyard and Production. Sourced from a longstanding partner in Abruzzo, where the hilly vineyards sit on clay, sand and gravel soils. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel to preserve the variety's natural freshness and aromatic intensity, followed by a short period on fine lees to add texture and depth.
