2023 Terraviva Pecorino Abruzzo
91
Vinous
Review Date: 07/2024The 2023 Pecorino opens with a fresh yet subtle blend of wildflowers and citrus-tinged green apples. It is zesty, with a reverberation of nervous acidity and lemony intensity that further enhances its tart orchard fruits. The 2023 tapers off youthfully tense and cheek puckering, ending with sour melons and a saline flourish. (EG)

Notes
The Terraviva Pecorino Abruzzo is a vibrant white wine crafted from the Pecorino grape, a native varietal that thrives in the rolling hills of Abruzzo. Produced by Terraviva, a winery known for its commitment to organic and sustainable practices, this wine reflects the region's terroir and the winemaker’s dedication to crafting authentic expressions of local varietals. Terraviva focuses on low-intervention winemaking, allowing the natural characteristics of the grape and vineyard to shine through. Grown in vineyards located near the Adriatic coast, the Pecorino grapes benefit from the cooling sea breezes and mineral-rich soils, which impart a distinct freshness and complexity to the wine. The wine undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to preserve its aromatic profile and vibrancy. The Terraviva Pecorino offers lively aromas of citrus fruits, white peach, and herbal notes, with a touch of salinity reminiscent of the nearby sea. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing, with a balanced acidity and a slightly minerally finish, making it an excellent companion for seafood dishes, fresh cheeses, or light appetizers. This Pecorino captures the essence of Abruzzo, offering a pure and expressive taste of the region's winemaking heritage.
