Description
What type of wine it is
The Pecorino by Tenuta I Fauri is a still, organic white wine, a faithful expression of the Abruzzo region with a controlled designation of origin (DOC), vinified and aged in concrete. The straw-yellow glass with golden highlights reveals a bouquet of yellow peach, Golden Delicious apple and orange blossom, interwoven with a distinct mineral undertone. On the palate, it offers a soft mouthfeel, guided by a bold sapidity and a vibrant citrus finish, ideal for pairing with white meats, lean fish or crispy fried seafood.
Where it comes from
This expression of Pecorino grapes comes to life on the Majella hills, from vineyards located between Ari, Chieti and Miglianico. The Mediterranean climate promotes optimal ripening, balancing body and freshness. The vines are rooted in clay-limestone soil, essential for giving the wine a marked mineral character. The process follows the authentic approach of an independent winemaker, intimately enhancing the land's vocation.
How it is produced
In the vineyard, pergola (tendone) and spurred cordon training systems are used with balanced yields. In the cellar, after soft pressing, the must is clarified by static decantation. Fermentation and ageing in concrete preserve the aromatic integrity of the fruit and the texture of the wine, excluding the use of wood. Bottled in late spring, this white does not require decanting and expresses its maximum precision at a temperature of 10–12 °C.

The children work with him, after they studied enology, they chose to continue the family business, that they have always heard and seen doing as youngest. Luigi deals with the wine production, with a great seriousness and Valentina deals with communication, with simplicity and power of ideas. They have given to their wines the sensibility from being pianists: it all comes back, that's the beauty, even years of solfège are useful. Read more
