Shaman white Pecorino 100 years is the result of a project born in collaboration with prof. Alberto Palliotti, of the University of Viticulture and Enology of Perugia. Some slips taken at about 900 meters above sea level from a centenary Pecorino vine from the Umbrian Apennines (still married to Aceri di monte, as was used in the past) were then grafted onto an old vineyard of our estate, in Pietranico. About a year later: the first harvest, fermentation and rest in new oak barrels and a fascinating wine, a unique expression of the Abruzzo pecorino.
Deep garnet red color, intense and consistent in the glass. Wild black cherry, plums, blackberries and ripe currants: the nose opens on clear fruity notes, and then also perceives floral nuances of violet, as well as clear tertiary references of vanilla, chocolate, cinnamon, pepper and licorice. Balsamic nuances and officinal herbs complete the olfactory picture. The tannins on the palate are sculpted with chisel, the sip is warm and soft, with excellent persistence.
It goes very well with red meat. Try it with the tagliata with balsamic vinegar.
Excellent freshness, subtle minerality and intense fruity notes for an Abruzzo white of ancient origins which, like Pecorino, owes its fortune to the recent rediscovery.
