Pecorino

Pecorino! This is one of Italy's most interesting grapes. It seemed extinct until the 1980s, but thanks to its cheerful and mineralic character, the grape has been on the rise ever since.

About the winemaker

"As winemaker of Cantina Frentana, besides making the wine, I am also responsible for preserving history and tradition. That sense of history is reflected in the choice of grapes we use. These are all indigenous varieties like pecorino, montepulciano, cococciola and passerina. These grapes have been able to adapt to the climate for centuries and therefore thrive best in the vineyards of central Italy."

Goede bekende. Hebben we al eerdere jaargangen van onder de kurkentrekker gehad. En die bevielen zeer. Van de coöperatie, de cantinauit Rocca San Giovanni. Nu wordt in menig Italiaanse coöp samengezworen tegen de smaakpapil. Maar dergelijke complotten worden daar niet gesmeed. Aldus zijn ook in 2020 de krachten weer gebundeld om de wijnliefhebber het leven te veraangenamen. Met zuivere, schone, duurzaam geproduceerde pecorino. Frisse appel, niet te rijpe peer, koele meloen en opgewekte limoen. Strak bittertje. Veel sap.

Abruzzen, Italy
Abruzzo is an Italian wine region in the central part of the country. This hilly and rugged region stretches from the Apennines to the rocky coastline of the Adriatic Sea. The combination of the cool mountain air with the warm air currents of the Adriatic Sea provide excellent viticultural conditions for pecorino grapes. According to tradition, this grape gets its name from the shape of the grape bunch, which resembles a sheep's head. It has some white pepper of grüner veltliner, the minerality of a young riesling and the fruit of a verdejo.

Het wordt tijd dat meer mensen de pecorino gaan ontdekken. Een wijn met karakter en heerlijk fris en fruitig.

Licht geel. Geur van citroenen, champignons? Smaak meteen sinaasappel en grapefruit met wat meloen. Iets zalvend. Mineralen, ijzer. Mooie pecorino!

lekkere wijn, beetje montepulviano pizzeria achtig

Eén van de lekkerste pecorino’s die ik in tijden gedronken heb. Word vaak teleurgesteld, maar deze is zoals hij hoort te zijn; fris, lichte mineralen en vol van smaak.
