Tenuta de Sterlich Pecorino Colli Aprutini IGT Abruzzo 2021

$34.00

This bright, aromatic white is from the hillsides of Abruzzo, Italy, where the native Pecorino grape finds its happiest home on this sunny region’s clay soils. This bottling showcases the variety’s signature tension between rich texture and zesty freshness, giving a wine that’s mouthwatering and expressive.

In the glass, expect lively aromatics of lemon blossom, sage and wild mint, with a touch of saline minerality that hints at the Adriatic influence. On the palate, the wine is dry and full-bodied yet lifted by refreshing acidity, framed by a smooth, slightly waxy texture that gives body without heaviness.

What makes this Pecorino so fun is that it straddles the line between vibrant and savory: it’s lively enough for bright seafood dishes, but substantial enough to stand up to richer fare.

Perfect with grilled shrimp, seared scallops, fresh goat cheese, herb-drizzled salads, or lemony pasta dishes — or enjoy it simply on its own as a refreshing sipper.
