Produced by Fontefico, it stands out for its full body and pronounced freshness, accompanied by a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the nose, it offers intense aromas of sage, mint and white flowers, while the crisp palate reveals lively notes of pink grapefruit that evolve into a characteristic finish of bitter almond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003ePecorino\u003c\/strong\u003e originates from the Costa dei Trabocchi, within the Vigna Bianca, a \u003cstrong\u003esingle organic vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e located at one hundred and twenty metres above sea level with an eastern exposure.

This is followed by \u003cstrong\u003esix months of maturation in steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, completed by a final three-month rest. This careful approach gives the wine an \u003cstrong\u003eenveloping structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, while perfectly preserving the aromatic clarity and a vibrant tension on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1996, the Fontefico farm has been cultivating native grape varieties in Abruzzo, giving rise to the emblematic Pecorino Superiore La Canaglia.
