Gran Sasso, `Alta Quota` Pecorino

This wine is straw yellow in colour with youthful highlights. It is lightly spiced on the nose from the partial oak ageing, which gives way to a fine, floral and ripe citrus fruit character. On the palate, the wine has good length with ripe pear flavours continuing through to the finish.

The Pecorino grapes were hand picked and meticulously sorted in the vineyards. At the winery, they were gently crushed and cooled, in order to help settling, with skin contact for about 12 hours at 3°C. Following this, approximately 80% of the must was fermented in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 12°C and the remaining 20% in 40hl oak barrels, to add character to the final blend. The wine then remained in stainless-steel tanks at a temperature of around 10°C, to maintain the fresh fruit aromas, before bottling and release.
