2021 PEMO Pecorino Terre di Chieti IGP

A super fresh and zingy wine bursting with lively citrus acidity, notes of tropical fruits and a hint of minerality, which gives the wine a lovely balance.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh citrus nose, vibrantly aromatic with lemon zest and tropical fruits.

Palate

The palate is bright with incisive citrus and stone fruit characters balanced by taut acidity - giving an appealing texture and clean, crisp finish. 

Production

PEMO Pecorino is normally fermented stored in stainless steel, which heightens the fruity palate of the wine. However, PEMO Pecorino spends four months ageing on its lees. This gives another element to the wine, making it more complex. Complexity in a wine is important, and is a sign of good quality.

Producers

The PEMO range of wines celebrates two grapes from Abruzzo – Pecorino (PE) and Montepulciano (MO). These two grapes have been growing in this region since 200 AD. The Pecorino grapes come from Chieti, the capital of the Abruzzo region and one of Italy’s most ancient cities.

• Pecorino is a native Italian grape variety from Abruzzo (not to be confused with cheese!)

• Made in a modern way, while respecting local wine-making traditions.
