Pecorino has become an everyone favorite white wine, a grape grown in Abruzzo and beyond, and a wine that has been adopted and has become the region's white wine.
This Pecorino wine is obtained from grapes grown in vineyards just a short distance from the Adriatic coast, where the maritime influence is unmistakable in its character. On the nose, it showcases the characteristic aromas of the grape, with enticing notes of white fruit, particularly ripe peaches. However, it is on the palate that the coastal proximity shows, delivering a fuller, rounder mouthfeel. Perfect for sipping on its own or pairing with food, this wine exemplifies the growing popularity of Pecorino, gradually emerging as a worthy replacement of the Trebbiano d'Abruzzo as the region’s signature white wine.
The artisan who made it
Donvitantonio vini is a family winery form Abruzzo, a territory with a long winemaking and culture history. After gaining wine making experience abroad and in Italy, working in some of the best wineries, both Donvitantonio’s grandsons, Antonio and Simone decided to go back home, to their roots, and take over Nonno Donvitantonio vineyards and start bottling their own grapes, until them, the grapes were sold to the local cooperatives. Antonio and Simone are the 3rd generation and their mission is to value and promote indigenous grapes.
