L'ARIOSA PECORINO Abruzzo Pecorino DOC 2023

Pecorino is one of the most ancient regional whites. The name of this vine, in fact, would seem to have been assigned to it because the departure for the transhumance (the seasonal migration of the flocks guided by the shepherds on the Abruzzo mountains) coincided with the ripening period of this grape and it is said that the sheep were greedy by the small berries of these sweet clusters.

The Ariosa is the name with which, since time immemorial, the peculiar and uncontaminated area of ​​lands stretched out close to the sea of ​​the Costa dei Trabocchi, characterized by fresh and sandy soils, rich in a distinctly marine minerality and microclimate mitigated by the constant sea breeze.

In each vintage, this wine interprets this fortunate production area with utmost expressiveness, giving us faithful interpretations of terroir and revealing wonderful savory sensations and enveloping aromatic and gustatory intensity. Its evolution over time is remarkable.
