2022 Emidio Pepe Pecorino
From one of Italy's most iconic natural winemakers, Emidio Pepe, comes this exceptional Pecorino from the Colli Aprutini IGT in Abruzzo. Known for his commitment to organic and biodynamic farming, Pepe's Pecorino is a rare expression of this lesser-known varietal, showcasing the complexity and depth it can achieve. Hand-harvested and vinified using traditional methods, the wine is fermented naturally with native yeasts and aged in cement. The wine is no longer macerated and instead sees a slow press before fermentation. Bottled without filtration, allowing the wine to express the full character of its terroir with deep limestone minerality.
