The Pecorino Terre di Chieti IGT produced by Mucci Valentino winery is a white wine that captures the essence of the Abruzzo terroir with a freshness and vibrancy that tantalizes the palate. This wine is made from the Pecorino grape variety, a native type that is gaining well-deserved recognition for its ability to express complexity and finesse.
On the nose, Mucci Valentino's Pecorino offers an intriguing aromatic bouquet, characterized by notes of white flowers, citrus, and hints of tropical fruit, with a slight nuance of aromatic herbs adding complexity. Fermentation and maturation take place in stainless steel containers to preserve the freshness and authenticity of the fruit.
On the palate, this wine reveals a medium body, balanced by a lively acidity that enhances the flavors and ensures a pleasant persistence. The texture is clean and crisp, with an aftertaste that brings back citrus and mineral notes, a distinctive sign of the production area.
The Pecorino Terre di Chieti IGT by Mucci Valentino pairs beautifully with light appetizers, fish or seafood dishes, but also with fresh or soft cheeses. It is also perfect as an aperitif, able to elegantly start a meal or accompany moments of conviviality.
This wine is not only an expression of the Abruzzo territory but also the result of the passion and dedication of the Mucci family, who, for generations, has worked to enhance native varieties and offer high-quality wines that tell the story and traditions of their land.

The story
The Mucci family embodies a winemaking tradition dating back to the late 19th century: great-grandfather Luigi Mucci obtained a diploma in oenology in 1895, and the passion for the vine has been passed down ever since. In the 1980s, grandfather Valentino revived the family business, and in subsequent generations — today led by Aurelia and Valentino Mucci — the winery has expanded its range and markets while maintaining direct management of the vineyards.
Production philosophy
An approach based on family continuity, attentive vineyard care and a balance between tradition and innovation; the winery prefers to vinify its own grapes to highlight the character of the terroir.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards located on the hills of Torino di Sangro, within the Terre di Chieti area of the Abruzzo region.
Awards and recognition
On its website the winery lists international awards, including Korea Wine Challenge, Japan Wine Challenge, Merano Wine Award and Selections Mondiales des Vins.
