Pecorino Civitas Lunaria (2022)

New

This wine takes its name from the Italian word ‘pecora’ meaning sheep as the local sheep in the region would eat the grapes whilst walking through the vineyards. This Pecorino is certified `Demeter` biodynamic, meaning that the vineyard has been subjected only to completely natural processes. Bright gold in colour with an aromatic nose. Soft and pleasant with aromas of citrus, ripe pear, peach and orange blossom. The palate is clean and rich with a pleasing mineral complexity and a long finish.

    Region

    The mountainous Abruzzo region is on the east coast of central Italy, which is south of Marche and north of Puglia. The region has two distinct areas with the hillside vineyards having warm continental climate with cooling from the Apennine mountains and then the flatter coastal zone which has a warm Mediterranean climate. Abruzzo is home to the red Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC, white Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC. Abruzzo mostly produces wines from Montepulciano but also Sangiovese, Pecorino and Passerina as well as more international varietals such as Chardonnay.
