Pecorino, Terre di Chieti, IGT
Accattoli
Pecora is the Italian word for sheep, and the
name of the grape reflects the close ties between agriculture and sheep
farming, as the grapes were grown on the hills where shepherds moved their
herds during the summer months. The
early harvest makes for a wine with a firm structure and a deliciously fresh
finish.
Structured, with hints of yellow flowers, and ripe fruit on the nose. Serve with fish courses, soft cheese, and delicate pasta dishes.
