PECORINO, TERRE DI CHIETI, IGT, 2017
Accattoli s.r.l.


Pecora is the Italian word for sheep, and the name of the grape reflects the close ties between agriculture and sheep farming since the grapes were grown on the hills where shepherds moved their herds in the summer. The early harvest makes for a wine with a firm structure and a deliciously fresh finish.

Front Label Translation:  "The early harvest in the late summer of the vineyards, in the Chieti area in Abruzzo, assures the freshness and liveliness of this white wine. Characterized by a determined structure with yellow flowers and ripe fruit nose, it makes a good marriage with fish, fresh cheeses...."
