We now have the new Piandimare white wine. Despite the strong vocation for red wines, after the experience with rosés, our cellar proves to be a great interpreter of the territory even with white berried grapes such as Pecorino, a typical Abruzzo vine. Pecorino grapes are harvested in the early hours of the morning , during the second ten days of September. The grapes are softly pressed and then fermented at a controlled temperature in steel tanks.On the nose our Pecorino opens with great aromas of white peach, pear, pineapple, fuji apple and acacia flowers. It is perfect for an elegant aperitif with a selection of soft and semi-soft cheeses accompanied by spicy vegetables.
