Introduction:
The 2022 Gran Sasso Terre di Chieti Pecorino is a fresh and vibrant white wine from the Abruzzo region of Italy. Made from the Pecorino grape, this wine showcases bright acidity, expressive fruit, and a distinct mineral character, making it a fantastic example of the varietal.

Terrior:
Sourced from the rolling hills of Terre di Chieti in Abruzzo, where the vineyards benefit from a unique combination of maritime influences from the Adriatic Sea and cooling mountain breezes from the Apennines. The well-drained limestone and clay soils enhance the wine’s crisp acidity and minerality.

Appearance:
Pale straw yellow with subtle green reflections, indicating freshness and youth. The wine is clear and bright with a light, delicate viscosity.

Nose:
Aromatic and lively, featuring notes of citrus fruits, green apple, and white peach, complemented by floral hints of acacia and a touch of crushed stone minerality.

Palate:
Crisp and refreshing, with zesty acidity and flavors of lemon zest, pear, and tropical fruits. A subtle herbal note of thyme and a saline minerality add depth to the wine’s bright, fruit-driven profile.

Finish:
Clean and persistent, with lingering citrus and a refreshing mineral touch that invites another sip.

Overall Impression:
A well-balanced and expressive Pecorino that highlights the grape’s natural freshness and complexity. This wine is perfect for warm-weather sipping and pairs beautifully with seafood, light pasta dishes, and fresh cheeses.
