Lomanegra vineyards – Pecorino Abruzzo DOC – 15%

Sensory notes
Colour: A deep straw yellow with persuasive golden reflections and an excellent consistency.
Smell: A good olfactory intensity, typical and territorial, with aromas of ripe fruit such as peach, medlar and apricot, as well as minerals and herbs, with hints of mixed aromatic herbs including thyme and marjoram.
Taste: In the mouth it is dry, with an excellent level of freshness and sapidity in good balance with an important warmth and a persuasive attenuating softness. Good gustatory persistence in harmony with the olfactory scents, it shows a sensation of light petillant, and a pleasant almond finish.

Harvest:
The uncontaminated Oasis of Rosarubra, immersed between the sea and the mountains of Abruzzo and bordered by suggestive secular trees, is privileged by a magnificent temperature range favored by an altitude that varies from three hundred to five hundred meters above sea level. This is a territory controlled entirely by nature, in which any interference by man is prevented.

A refined and extraordinary symbiotic agriculture that respects the microbiology of the soil and plants, as well as supporting self-production and the use of indigenous mycorrhizae that enrich the microorganisms present in the soil, strengthening the healthy development of the vineyards and preserving the genetics of our terroir .

It is in this medium-textured soil that the Guyot training of this precious and unobtainable line dwells, from which a pure wine is born, obtained with 100% Pecorino grapes, which in addition to enjoying a splendid exposure is characterized by a very high plant density that exceeds 5000 plants per hectare with minimum yields that do not reach the kilogram per vine.

Furthermore, during a manual September harvest, only the best grapes of the vine are selected, the precious fruit of the aforementioned and advanced biodynamic, organic, regenerative and sustainable agriculture, which guarantees total respect for the environment and its ecosystem, as well as offering us the maximum expression of the authentic typicality of the territory in which they were born.

Vinification:
A vinification in steel in thermo-conditioned vats of slightly overripe grapes followed by a malolactic fermentation and a subsequent maturation, again in steel, at the end of which we will proceed with the bottling in total absence of oxygen, for a final period of refinement.

How to match our Pecorino wine from “Vigne Lomanegra”.
An uncommon, refined, long-lived wine, the pecorino of “Vigne Lomanegra” is always a pleasure to keep in the cellar, because over the years it will surprise us positively.

But for those who don’t want to wait so long and would like to taste it right away, we suggest bringing the wine to a maximum temperature of 8-10 degrees, pouring it into a nice white wine glass that can make us appreciate its organoleptic characteristics well, to accompany it with aperitifs appetizers, fish dishes, vegetarian dishes, white meats, fresh or medium-aged cheeses. Let’s imagine a mackerel terrine, sea bass fillets in wheat paste, escalopes with mushrooms, truffled pheasant, or a short-aged pressed asiago.
