Tasting Notes
Another intense wine from Pietramore. This time it's their 100% Pecorino from Abruzzo. Almost golden in coulour the nose is intensely floral and ripe fruited. The palate brings these flavours with it as well as layer upon layer of unctious texture and honey like characters. A backbone of minerality and acitidy retain this wines freshness, but it is quite the mouthful. Organic and vegan friendly. - Chris L
Abruzzo has a winemaking history stretching all the way back to the Etruscans in the sixth century BC, with plenty of ups and downs along the way. These days it turns out reliable, approachable whites and reds for everyday drinking, along with some genuinely complex, ageworthy wines at the top end. You'll find it in central Italy on the Adriatic coast, with Molise to the south, Marche to the north and Lazio to the west.
Its terroir is varied and shaped heavily by the Apennines, with vineyards near the coast enjoying a moderating maritime influence while those further inland see a much wider swing between day and night temperatures. Clay is the dominant soil throughout. Trebbiano leads the whites with Pecorino close behind, while Montepulciano is the flagship red.
