St. Angelum Pecorino Terre d'Abruzzo PGI

St. Angelum Pecorino Terre d'Abruzzo IGP 2024 is a dry white from Monteselva, made from Pecorino, a white grape native to central Italy and grown here in Abruzzo. It skips malolactic fermentation and spends about six months on its lees in steel. In the glass it is straw yellow with green glints, fresh and citrusy on the nose, and balanced yet robust on the palate. Pour it at 8 to 10°C as an aperitif or with seafood pasta and fish mains. Delivered across Ontario.
