Took a spin and filled out a case of other wines with some Tiberio Pecorino after hearing some good things. Glad I did. Will be my house white. A lot of wine for 20 bucks.
2018 Tiberio Pecorino- Italy, Abruzzi, Colline Pescaresi IGT (10/23/2020)
So much pleasure in this wine. For $20. Pale yellow. Floral and lemony. Almost leans Sauv Blanc, but doesn’t ever go there. Citrus and slate and zips of acidity. Youthful. The finish lingers with a real umami character that shows salinity, anise and bright flavors. Really easy to drink.
Love this wine Dennis! I had the 17 last month and had a blast with it.
In fact, my great Eureka moment of 2020 is how amazing Italian whites are in the $15 to 25 range. From the Veneto, Tuscany, especially Campania, Sicily…and many many more. Character, verve, cheery, and easy on the wallet.
Totally agree, Dale. Try Alto Adige and Friuli too.
If it makes it to your area, try 2019 Vignagiulia Pecorino Offida. It’s under $20 and really delicious. Sometimes Pecorino can get a little soft and banana-like, but this one is tangy and vibrant with more of a pit fruit character.
