Pecorino d'Abruzzo IGT Colline Pescaresi from the Linea Vigna Corvino, produced by Azienda Agricola Contesa, represents an authentic expression of the Abruzzo territory. Grown on the sunny hills of Pescara, this wine uses the Pecorino grape variety, known for its ability to perfectly combine structure and freshness.

In the glass, it presents a bright straw yellow color and offers intense aromas of white-fleshed fruit, such as peach and apple, complemented by delicate floral and slightly citrus notes. The sip is decisive and harmonious, with good minerality that recalls the calcareous-clay soils of origin. Careful aging preserves the vibrant acidity, inviting a long and savory finish.

Perfect to pair with seafood dishes, fresh cheeses, and light first courses, this Pecorino is an invitation to discover the finesse and sincere aromas of the most authentic Abruzzo.

Production philosophy
Production aimed at enhancing the Abruzzo terroir and employing low-impact winemaking practices: selective use of wood, controlled fermentations, and attention to preserving the freshness of native grape varieties. Sources also report a commitment to sustainability and a transition to organic practices and environmental certification.
