Torre Zambra ‘Poggio Salaia’ Pecorino - Terre d’Abruzzo IGT, Abruzzo, Italy

Bright straw-yellow in colour, this expressive Pecorino offers aromas of white flowers, lemon and ripe orchard fruit, followed by mango, pineapple and a delicate herbal note reminiscent of sage. The palate is crisp and well balanced, with flavours of citrus and lychee, lively acidity and a distinctly mineral, gently saline finish.

Torre Zambra was among the early champions of Pecorino’s revival in Abruzzo, identifying the limestone- and sandstone-rich soils of Poggio Salaia as particularly suited to the variety. After a brief cold maceration and gentle pressing, the wine ferments at low temperature in stainless steel and rests on its fine lees for two months, followed by further maturation in bottle. The estate farms organically, and the wine is certified sustainable and vegan.
