Pecorino Terre di Chieti PGI - 12 Nodi Line

Our Pecorino Terre di Chieti PGI, part of the prestigious 12 Nodi line, is a straw yellow wine, an authentic expression of the white grape variety from which it comes. This sunny wine offers intense and clear aromas that capture attention.

On the nose, Pecorino is very tasty, fresh and fragrant, with depth and a distinctive character that evoke the very essence of Abruzzo. Hints of fresh yellow pulp fruit emerge, a sumptuous and warm fruit that envelops the senses. The mineral and iodine notes, together with aromatic herbs such as thyme and marjoram, add complexity to this olfactory experience. Furthermore, a series of suggestions, including licorice, anise and mint, intertwine in an enveloping bouquet.

On the palate, Pecorino is like a work carved into the rocks, with a strong acidity, a broad structure, an alcohol that gives strength and a good roundness. It's sharp, but never rude. The persistence and depth of this wine are impressive, and every perception is amplified. Pecorino is a wine with character, bold and decisive, which does not aim for subtle finesse but offers extraordinary fullness.
