We tend to associate Pecorino with the famous ewe’s milk cheese more than wine. However, it is grown in Abruzzo and Le Marche on Italy’s east coast, producing white wines of considerable style. This particular example possesses lively stonefruit aromatics and a wonderfully textured palate. It is a food-friendly wine well suited to seafood, white meat and creamy pasta dishes.
Pecorino translates to English as little sheep, and we are led to believe that the fruit of the Pecorino vine were favoured by the flocks of sheep driven to lower pastures in Italy’s east. The sheep certainly had good taste, as it makes a delicious wine!
2013 TERZINI PECORINO D’ABRUZZO
Producer: Terzini
Variety: Pecorino
Vintage: 2013
Region: Abruzzo, Italy
ABV: 13.0%
Closure: Screw cap
Retail Price: $30.00
Date tasted: 30 October 2015
Tasting Note:
Bright golden yellow. Interesting nose of white peach/nectarine, yellow plum. Dry, medium bodied, lovely texture. Flavour profile is the same as the nose – stonefruit. Only downside is a slight suggestion of oxidation – perhaps not a pristine bottle. Still plenty to enjoy.
Score: 16/20
