I bought this wine from my butcher. Italian butchers often have an excellent selection of wines. Our butcher, Sergio, was so happy that I chose a pecorino wine from Abruzzo, my wine of the month, so that he gave me a discount. As mentioned, the wine is made from the grape called pecorino and comes from the region called Abruzzo. The producer’s name is Masciarelli and is excellent.
Very nice nose, citrus and pears with a slight sweetness in the background. On the palate it has a good body – some “fat” – with good acidity and structure. Long after-taste with some bitter notes. Thirteen percent ABV. Clearly a new favourite. We had it to a vegetarian lasagne. But don’t tell my butcher! Price around 13 euro.
