Tiberio Pecorino 2014
Abruzzo, ItalyPecorino is such a trendy grape that the amount of people producing "pecorino" outnumbers the number of hectares planted in the country. Caveat emptor. This is a mountain grape variety, suited to altitude and alpine environs. Tiberio's is planted on limestone at 350m, and highlights the grape's characteristic wild herbs, with a riff of wild mint, flake salt and a sheen of light white honey on the creamy palate. Brisk, finely threaded acidity propels quince and green fig to the finish. A beauty to pour with Italian vegetarian dishes - think greens, barley, pine nuts, meyer lemon, ricotta and go from there (you won't go wrong).Tasted: 01 April 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $29.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
