Description
Region
The mountainous Abruzzo region is on the east coast of central Italy, which is south of Marche and north of Puglia. The region has two distinct areas with the hillside vineyards having warm continental climate with cooling from the Apennine mountains and then the flatter coastal zone which has a warm Mediterranean climate. Abruzzo is home to the red Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC, white Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC, and the new Colline Teramane Montepulciano d`Abruzzo DOCG. Abruzzo mostly produces wines from Montepulciano but also Sangiovese, Pecorino and Passerina as well as more international varietals such as Chardonnay.
Producer
The company was born as a retailer in 1928 in the Veneto region for sales of wines in casks and demi-johns to restaurants and small retailers. The company is now run by the third generation and from their roots in Veneto they now have a portfolio of wines produced in some of Italy’s finest regions. Botter pride themselves on their focus of sustainability, going beyond reducing emissions, production of waste and non-renewable energy usage and taking a responsible approach for the whole production chain.
Tasting Notes
The wine is made protectively to preserve the fresh fruit character. A crisp and fresh Pecorino from Abruzzo; lemon-green in colour. The bouquet is pronounced with intense notes of white pulped fruits, blossom and complexity given by exotic fruits. The palate is dry with a zesty citrus acidity and notes of white peach, pear and green apples. The wine has a well-balanced structure supported by good acidity with a long and persistent finish.
Food
Serve with summer salads, light fish or chicken dishes.
