2025 Zappacosta Pecorino Terre di Chieti SudEst

Pecorino is one of Abruzzo's special white grapes, a golden beauty that combines citrus energy with creamy richness in both aroma and flavor. This white wine displays a pale straw color with greenish reflections with delicate and intense floral notes like broom and acacia, and fruity notes like apple and citrus. The wine is enveloping and structured on the palate, with good freshness and persistence, finishing with a pleasantly almond-like note. Excellent as an aperitif.
