Discover the best wines made with Pecorino as a single variety or as a blend of Controguerra.
Structured, aromatic whites with firm acidity and an ample mouth, featuring aromas of citrus, yellow peach, aromatic herbs (sage, thyme), almond, white flowers and saline mineral notes. Fine length and ageing capacity. Star of Offida Pecorino DOCG in the Marche and Abruzzo Pecorino DOC, driving force behind the revival of great modern Adriatic whites. Native Italian grape rediscovered in the 1980s after near-disappearance.
Abruzzese DOC (1996) in northern Teramo (Ancarano, Colonnella, Torano Nuovo), Adriatic maritime hills. Montepulciano leads in reds (~70% of Rosso) — fleshy and sun-drenched with ripe notes of black cherry, plum, blackberry and a hint of savoury herbs, supple tannins and moderate acidity. Cabernet and Merlot as structuring Bordeaux complements. Trebbiano and Passerina in lively whites with citrus, stone fruit and floral hints.
