Casalbordino

Aging in medium-capacity oak barrels, 25 Hl, for about 18 months and refinement in the bottle for three months before placing on the market. Store in a cool place at a temperature of about 5-7°C.

The harvest takes place in the second week of October, when the phenolic maturity is reached with manual harvesting. VITIFICATION: destemming of the grapes, contact of the skins with the must for 7-10 days in a steel vat at a T° from 18 to 28 °C, separation of the skins and transfer of the must-wine into a steel tank for the completion of the fermentation malolactic. REFINING - STORAGE: maturation in steel tanks for 5-6 months and brief refinement in the bottle before being released for consumption.

A small and delicately pale grape, Pecorino is happy from the higher altitudes to the foothills to the coast, and thrives in Abruzzo (though you'll also find it in the Marche, Umbria, Liguria and Tuscany). The grape itself has an exceptionally high sugar content and tends to reflect the terroir without reserve: it is both sensitive and expressive, not unlike Pinot Noir, so it is a grape for a patient and passionate winemaker. Another nice thing about Pecorino - especially for white wine lovers - is the complexity you can find in a relatively young and affordable bottle. In a similarly priced Pecorino, you will get much more than a two-dimensional crunchy Pinot Grigio or a slate Sauvignon Blanc you get character, evident terroir, a richer aromatic profile than what often accompanies "fresh" white wines - notes of fruits of forest, flowers, dried herbs, minerality, all balanced by an acid freshness and a slightly heavier mouthfeel (thank you, sugar)
