Review Summary:
Pecorino 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 350 m, 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).
