Fattoria La Valentina Colline Pescaresi Pecorino Organic 2023 750ml

Expert Review – Vintage 2023

James Suckling 91 Points | A refreshingly saline white with notes of lemon rind, sliced pears and chamomile. Its medium-bodied, lively and delicious. A bright expression of pecorino>Vinous 91 More savory than sweet, the 2023 Pecorino lifts from the glass with a thrust of wild herbs, crushed rocks and lime zest. Round and supple, this builds lovely tension through a core of saline minerality and citrus-infused green apple fruits. It finishes amazingly fresh and full of zesty tension, leaving a salty sensation and hints of young kiwi that linger on and on.

Wine Enthusiast 90 Points |The nose is floral and delicately citrus, with aromas of citrus blossom, jasmine, lemon and wet slate. That defining citrus quality turns saline on the palate, which also brings zippy acid and a hint of toasted almond to create a fun, refreshing wine.

Winemaker Description

Pecorino is one of the most exciting new white grape varieties coming from Italy today, and Abruzzo is the source for many of the best. La Valentina’s Pecorino is a delicious white wine 100% Pecorino in the Colline Pescaresi (hills of Pescara). A bit of aging on the lees adds complexity and weight to this wine.

Drink as an aperitif or with mollusk, shell fish, and Adriatic fish dishes with a strong flavor. Winemaker Description.
