LA PIUMA TERRE di CHIETI PECORINO IGT 2023

White wine made of a rare and long-forgotten Abruzzo grape variety that is now being rediscovered. A dry wine that is lighter than Chardonnay with less acidity than Sauvignon Blanc.

Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"The La Piuma Pecorino Terre di Chieti 2023 is a delightful and refreshing white wine that hails from the Terre di Chieti region in Italy. It starts with sweet notes of apple and pear with hints of jasmine, lemon and some shy floral notes. All aromas lead to tastes with a touch of ripe nectarine and honey for a crisp, clean profile. This Pecorino pairs beautifully with light seafood dishes, fresh salads, and creamy cheeses. It is a true reflection of the Terre di Chieti's terroir, offering a taste of the region's vibrant and refreshing white wines."

91/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, November 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Elegant and finely scented, the wine shows crunchy apple, lemongrass, dried herb and jasmine nuances on the nose. The palate is focused and linear, delivering finely flowing mouthfeel with crunchy acidity, making it mouth-watering and lingering. At its best: now to 2027."

"Distinctive bouquet of chalk and white flowers, citrus and white fleshed orchard fruits, there’s a lees note adding a textural complexity, shape and form with the bouquet. New and different. An appealing wine on the palate with a taut youthful squeeze emphasizing the citrus and mineral then flavours of apple and some floral layers. Fresh, dry, balanced, well made and ready to drink from 2023 through 2027+."
