The 2016 Pecorino is wonderfully fresh but also a bit withdrawn. Gingery spice, ripe yellow apples, hints of candied citrus and an enriching note of almond paste creates an alluring display. This is silky in texture, contrasted by nervous acidity which makes for a juicy experience, as ripe orchard fruits taper off to salty, savory mineral tones. It buzzes with residual tension throughout the finish, along with a hint of hazelnut. (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2021)

This is the most bizarre wine I’ve ever had. It smells like prosciutto and a very pungent pecorino cheese

Medium gold in color, waxy, almost oxidative nose… explosive round soft medium-weight notes of ripe grape, juicy ripe pear dripping with sweet honeyed richness. Intense, demanding, lip-smacking attack and a long, lingering finish. Impressive with fried zucchini, swordfish, and bucatini.
