Chiusa Grande Donna Sophia Pecorino, Abruzzo, Italy 2023

Description

The Chiusa Grande Donna Sophia Pecorino 2023 is a brilliant showcase of what makes Pecorino from Abruzzo so special. From the first pour, it captivates with its pale straw-yellow color and lively reflections, hinting at the freshness within.

On the nose, this wine bursts with aromatic complexity—vibrant notes of white flowers, ripe citrus, green apple, and subtle herbal undertones create an inviting bouquet. As it opens up, delicate hints of minerality and almond add depth and intrigue.

The palate is equally impressive. A bright, zesty acidity balances the wine’s round texture, delivering flavors of lemon zest, pear, and a touch of saline minerality that speaks to its coastal influence. The mouthfeel is both crisp and elegantly structured, leading to a lingering, refreshing finish with a pleasant, slightly nutty aftertaste.

Perfectly suited for seafood, grilled vegetables, and creamy pasta dishes, this Pecorino is a standout choice for those looking to explore beyond the usual white varietals. Chiusa Grande has once again crafted a wine that is both expressive and refined—an absolute must-try for any Italian wine lover.
