Pemo Pecorino, Terre di Chieti

Pecorino is a white grape variety native to central Italy. The name can be somewhat confusing as it is also that of a little sheep (pecor = sheep) and a cheese, made from sheep’s milk. The white wine is equally characterful: Fresh, dry and nutty with attractive citrus aromas. It is rounded and flavoursome with good structure. Impressive in its vibrant youth, this is a wine that can also be kept.

If you have not come across it, this is definitely a wine to try. It is the perfect accompaniment to white meat and seafood.
