Pecorino Le Murate, Nicodemi (75cl)

Pecorino is a native Italian white grape variety that has experienced a remarkable renaissance in recent years. Once forgotten and left to over-ripen on the vines or used only in blends, Pecorino is now enjoying renewed popularity and is widely cultivated across Abruzzo, Marche, and Lazio. In Abruzzo, it has nearly overtaken Trebbiano d'Abruzzo as the region’s flagship white wine.

This single-vineyard Pecorino is obtained from manually harvested grapes grown on the oldest vines in the prestigious DOCG Colli Teramani appellation area, nestled on the hills facing the Adriatic Sea. A superior expression of Pecorino, this wine stands out for its fruity, aromatic nose, and its vibrant yet elegant and delicate palate. Crisp, lively, and mineral-driven, it offers exceptional structure and depth.

Perfectly suited to pasta dishes, white meats, and medium-aged cheeses, this Pecorino is a refined white wine that elevates any meal - and showcases the best of Abruzzo’s winemaking tradition.
