Pecorino

Pecorino: the white elegance of the Adriatic Apennines

The Pecorino collection gathers some of the most interesting interpretations of one of the great Italian white grape varieties, capable of uniting freshness, structure, and a strong territorial identity. From Abruzzo to Marche, Pecorino gives rise to wines recognizable for their clear aromatic profile, good acidity tension, and a personality that precisely expresses the character of the areas of origin.

This selection includes labels from reference wineries such as Cataldi Madonna, Emidio Pepe Azienda Agricola Biologica, Ciavolich, Pasetti, and Fontefico, along with expressions from producers like Azienda Vinicola Santa Barbara. The result is a rich and coherent overview, ideal for those seeking Italian whites that can offer immediacy, depth, and pleasant versatility at the table.

Character, style, and territories of Pecorino

Pecorino stands out for its often intense and vertical profile, with notes of citrus, white-fleshed fruit, wildflowers, and, in some versions, herbaceous or mineral nuances. In the various denominations present in this collection, such as Colli Aprutini IGT, Colline Pescaresi IGP, Abruzzo DOC, Abruzzo DOP, Offida Pecorino DOCG, and other expressions linked to the Abruzzo and Marche territories, the grape variety shows different facets but always remains readable.

The more immediate versions enhance the fresh and smooth sip, while other interpretations focus on greater complexity, substance, and evolutionary potential. It is a white that lends itself well to those who desire a dynamic but not trivial bottle, with sufficient structure to accompany flavorful dishes and a taste profile that invites a second glass.

How to choose a good Pecorino

When choosing a Pecorino, it is advisable to consider especially the origin, the producer's style, and the denomination. Labels from areas such as the inner Abruzzo or the coastal hilly regions can offer different expressions, either more tense and mineral or softer and more enveloping. In the collection, you will also find organic wines and interpretations from wineries with very different approaches, useful for comparing vintages and different interpretations of the same grape variety, such as the versions from Cataldi Madonna and Emidio Pepe Azienda Agricola Biologica.

Recommended pairings

Thanks to its freshness and structure, Pecorino is an extremely versatile white. It pairs well with seafood appetizers, raw dishes, light fried foods, fish first courses, flavorful soups, and delicate white meats. The richer and more complex versions can also accompany semi-aged cheeses, structured vegetable preparations, and traditional Mediterranean dishes with aromatic herbs.
