In the glass, it appears a bright straw yellow with antique gold highlights, offering a bouquet of honeysuckle, winter pear and bitter almond.

Vinified and matured in steel, it ensures a clean, vibrant and harmonious finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes ripen on the \u003cstrong\u003ehills of Bolognano\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the Casauria Valley, in the province of Pescara. In this part of Abruzzo, the strong temperature variations between day and night encourage the development of very distinct floral and fruity aromas. The vineyards benefit from a western exposure and grow on \u003cstrong\u003emedium-textured clay soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, cultivated using pergola and espalier systems.

To preserve the integrity of the Pecorino, the grapes undergo \u003cstrong\u003epressing in the absence of oxygen\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by cold settling of the must for seven days. Fermentation takes place in \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e at a controlled temperature for ten days, ensuring extreme aromatic precision. Ageing on fine lees for about three months gives the wine structure without the use of barrels, keeping the freshness of the fruit intact.
