IT Cantina Sangro Pecorino Terre di Chieti IGT

Vibrant, beautifully structured Italian white wine that captures the coastal breeze and sun-drenched hills of Abruzzo. Crafted by the Cantina Sangro cooperative in the province of Chieti, this 100% Pecorino wine is an exceptional expression of a historic native grape that has made a major modern resurgence.

VARIETALS: 100% Pecorino

VINTAGE: 2024

ALC: 12.5%

TASTING NOTES:

• Appearance: A medium-intense straw yellow color with bright, clear consistency.
• Aroma: The nose is highly aromatic and fresh, revealing sharp citrus notes of lime and grapefruit blended with white floral tones, white peach, and subtle tropical hints of mango.
• Palate: Balanced, full-bodied, and beautifully structured. It cuts through cleanly with excellent natural acidity and a distinct, savory minerality that lingers on the finish.

FOOD PAIRING:

Thanks to its crisp spine of acidity and refreshing sapidity, this Pecorino is incredibly versatile. It acts as an excellent aperitif on its own or alongside starters like cured meats, light appetizers, and fresh vegetables. It pairs seamlessly with raw seafood, shellfish, grilled white fish, and delicate poultry dishes. Of course, it is also a natural match for semi-mature cheeses (especially its sheep’s milk namesake, Pecorino cheese).
