This Pecorino is grown on north facing (cooler) calcareous laced soils in Piomba and Colle Sale, and from 150-350 m. Light honeysuckle, quince, pine nuts, Asian pear, apricot fuzz in this structured white, hedged with smoked/broken stone and lifted with a bright spire of acidity to a savoury finish. There's a slight sandy/ash texture that lingers, bringing additional interest. Snappy, intriguing now, this will continue to honey with time, adding secondary and tertiary complexities to this easy charmer.
