Pecorino? Surely that’s sheep’s cheese! Here in the Marche region, Pecorino is first and foremost an indigenous grape variety with a centuries-old tradition on the slopes of the Piceno Apennines. And what Saladini Pilastri makes from it is beautifully – organically vinified and imbued with the character that makes this underrated region so special. The Saladini Pilastri organic winery cultivates four hectares of Pecorino vines in the municipalities of Spinetoli and Monteprandone, 150 metres above sea level. Here, on alluvial soils rich in gravel, the vines grow facing east-northeast – —perfect for the natural acidity and minerality that are so characteristic of this variety. 4,200 vines per hectare trained using the Guyot system, hand-harvested in the first week of September when the grapes have reached their optimal balance.

The result is a white wine with plenty of character: straw-yellow in the glass, with a bouquet ranging from citrus fruits to white flowers and delicate herbal notes. On the palate, it is structured and enveloping, with that lively acidity and mineral depth that make the interplay of the two terroirs of Spinetoli and Monteprandone so unique. The final surprises with salty, mineral notes – – a wine that unmistakably reveals its origins. Perfect with seafood, grilled fish or even a hearty vegetable soup. An authentic organic wine from an authentic region, proving that the Marche region can produce white wine too! And Pecorino is definitely more than just cheese. SUPERIORE.DE

"Opulent nose of sweet lush fruit; palate of bitter pear skin, crisp apple, basil and lemongrass." Decanter
