Description
What type of wine it is
Emidio Pepe's Pecorino is a still organic white wine produced in Abruzzo. This artisanal expression of the Terre d'Abruzzo denomination comes from the indigenous Pecorino grape variety of the same name, crafted using a natural approach. In the glass, it presents an intense straw-yellow colour, revealing an aromatic profile where floral and fruity notes intertwine with delicate herbaceous hints. On the palate, it is fresh and textured, offering a lively and balanced sip, defined by the characteristic maturation in concrete which ensures a long and persistent finish.
Where it comes from
This wine comes to life in the Abruzzo region, within the Colli Aprutini territory. The vineyards are situated in the municipality of Torano Nuovo, an area characterised by a historic agricultural vocation capable of enhancing the qualities of this local grape variety. The environment of origin gives the wine a distinct territorial character, allowing the grapes to develop their natural aromatic richness. The agricultural approach respects the strict dictates of organic cultivation, authentically reflecting the identity and pure essence of the Abruzzo landscape.
How it is produced
The vinification of this white wine is based on purely artisanal methods that exclude any filtration. The production process requires scrupulous attention in the cellar and is centred on a targeted maturation in concrete. This specific technical choice is essential for smoothing the sip, gradually softening the more pungent components of the varietal. Resting inside the wine vessels gives the wine its peculiar vibrant structure, resulting in a final expression with great tactility and perfect balance.

This wine represents the latest addition to the Emidio Pepe winery, marking an impeccable debut for the famous estate located in Torano Nuovo.
