A vibrant and characterful white from Vignamadre, this Pecorino captures the freshness and natural energy of Abruzzo. Notes of citrus, ripe pear and white peach are layered with a subtle herbal edge, leading into a crisp, medium bodied palate with lively acidity and a gently textured finish. Bright yet structured, it pairs beautifully with seafood, grilled vegetables, pasta dishes or herb-led chicken.

Pecorino (100%)

Pecorino is a native Italian white grape from the central Adriatic regions, particularly Abruzzo and Marche. Known for its naturally high acidity and flavour intensity, it typically shows notes of citrus, stone fruit and herbs, often with a slightly saline or mineral edge. Medium bodied with a firm structure, Pecorino produces wines that are both fresh and characterful, with excellent food-pairing versatility.

Abruzzo - A diverse region on Italy’s east coast, bordered by the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine mountains. This contrast of maritime influence and altitude helps create wines with both ripeness and freshness, particularly in its white varieties, which are known for their clarity, balance and drinkability.
