2023 Poggio Anima Gabriel Pecorino, Terre di Chieti IGT

From: Terre di Chieti IGT, Abruzzo, ItalyVarietal: Pecorino Taste: Bright straw in the glass, this Pecorino opens with a concentrated nose of apricot blossom, lemongrass, acacia, sea spray, and yellow apple. The palate echoes the floral tones while layering in white peach, lemon zest, and a lingering note of melon and subtle herbal and mineral notes. Rounded in texture yet lifted by brisk acidity, the wine remains fresh and persistent, carrying its medium body with balance and clarity through the finish.

 Pairing: Pecorino’s combination of freshness, texture, and herbal nuance makes it versatile for pairing. General rules: it thrives with seafood, vegetable dishes, and light pastas, and can cut through oils or moderate richness. About. Poggio Anima is based in Castelnuovo dell’Abate, a historic hamlet southeast of Montalcino in Tuscany. The name translates to “Hill of the Soul,” and the project reflects a collaboration between Riccardo Campinoti of Le Ragnaie and Ronnie Sanders of Vin
