Denatile
Pecorino
Terre di Chieti IGP
The Pecorino grapes are grown in the white wine zone of Chieti, on hillside slopes at about 300 metres above sea level.
100% Pecorino
Pecorino is a nearly ripening variety, giving excellent mineral qualities and freshness – the grapes are hand-picked around the second week of September.
Once de-steamed the grapes are left in the pneumatic press with dry ice for a few hours, then softly pressed with a maximum pressure of 0.5 Atm. When the fermentation is completed the wine is left on the fine lees for at least 120 days. In our view, Pecorino is a wine that best expresses itself from spring onwards.
DeNatile Pecorino is very fresh, zinging with lively citrus acidity, notes of tropical fruits and a certain minerality, which gives the wine a lovely balance.
