Translation of front label:
A land and its past. The result of different paleogeographic marine domains, modified over time in the structure and remodeled by tectonics, uplift and morphological processes, this vineyard with bright and full bunches preserves in depth the memory of what the sea used to be.

The 2021 Pecorino Colli Aprutini is subtle and nuanced, lifting from the glass with lemon oil, sage and mint aromas. This is soft textured yet mineral in style, with a savory core of green apples and ginger that adds a more tactile feel toward the close. It finishes with a tropical flourish of fruit and citrus, remarkably clean yet potent and long. Eric Guido-VINOUS 90pts
