Abruzzo Pecorino belongs to the Abruzzo DOC wine appellation that has been created to protect and enhance the main regional native vines, including Pecorino, but also Passerina, Cococciola and Montonico. These wines can satisfy even the most attentive and demanding consumers with fresh, fruity and elegant aromas.
The “Designation of controlled origin” of the Abruzzo wines aims is to directly identify the territory of origin of these wines, to guarantee their quality, typicality and origin. Starting from the 2010 harvest, wines of absolute quality are offered to the market, mainly native whites, the result of intense work first in the vineyards and then in the cellar.
The area of the Abruzzo DOC wine appellation coincides with that of the Cerasuolo DOC and includes the entire coastal and foothills of the region, which in the central part expands inland to include the Alto Tirino plateau to the north, the Subequana Valley to the northwest, the Peligna Valley to the south as well as the Valle Roveto to the southwest. The vineyard area therefore includes the municipalities of all four provinces of Abruzzo: Chieti, L’Aquila, Pescara and Teramo. As with Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC and Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC, the area of the wine appellation is limited to land that is below 600 meters, so that most of the vineyards are located in the lower eastern part of the region.
The “Designation of Controlled Origin” of Abruzzo wines, which includes Pecorino, is reserved for wines obtained from grapes from vineyards consisting of at least 85% of the corresponding vine. Other vines, with berries of similar color, suitable for cultivation for the Abruzzo region can contribute up to a maximum of 15%.
Abruzzo Pecorino has a pale straw yellow color with golden or greenish nuances.
It has fruity and floral aromas of tropical fruit, or citrus and vegetable. It is dry, harmonious, persistent, characteristic in taste.
