2024 Terraviva Pecorino Abruzzo

The winemaking at Terraviva completely shuns heavy-handed intervention to protect the naked, high-toned varietal energy of Pecorino. Spontaneously fermented with native yeasts strictly in stainless steel vats, the juice avoids malolactic fermentation to safeguard its hallmark biting acidity. The wine is then aged on its fine lees for roughly 6 months with periodic stirring, building a svelte, phenolic mid-palate density that beautifully balances Pecorino's naturally intense extract and structure.
