About this wine

We're always sniffing out excellent value, under-the-radar wines from Italy that offer cracking value for the table, and this Pecorino is drop dead gorgeous. From organically-farmed grapes in Abruzzo, this is super fresh and vibrant, with lots of floral notes on the nose, including jasmine, and some lovely stone fruits on the palate. This would match well with creamy pasta dishes & grilled fish. Classy winemaking here that shows why Italy is the best value wine destination in the world! "... The 2022 Giuliana Vicini Pecorino from Abruzzo, halfway between Pescara and Ortona, is a crisp, fresh, lively white made from 100 per cent Pecorino. This indigenous grape has nothing to do with the cheese of that name other than the fact that some locals reckon it’s so-called thanks to it being a favourite snack of the sheep (pecora in Italian) that used to graze hereabouts. Produced by Chiara Ciavolich, whose family have tended vines here for over 500 years, it’s hand-picked, steel-fermented and bottled unfiltered and makes a tasty choice for those bored by Sauvignon Blanc.
