The Spanish influence in Italy and European Baroque culture during the 16th century cannot be denied. The Abruzzo region, as most of Southern Italy had intense ties from apolitical, cultural, religious, economic and social point of view. The Avalos family moved to Italy and developed centers of cultural excellence that rivaled the Medici family.
Pecorino, a white grape once thought lost to the world is a must-try for those that believe Trebbiano is the only white wine in the Abruzzen. A sumptuous full-bodied white that flows with compelling flavors of white pulp, apricots and lychees.
The Pecorino vineyard was planted in 2004 and is located at 350 meters above sea level. During the harvest, which takes place in mid-September, careful grape selection takes place in the vineyards. Upon arrival, the grapes are destemmed and followed by a cold maceration (soaking time of the destemmed grapes) and then a soft pressing. The clarified must undergoes a temperature-controlled fermentation at 16 degrees for a period of 12 days.
Superb with gently grilled fish, vegetable tempura and oysters.
