Lunaria Civitas Pecorino (organic) 2022/23
Country/Region of Origin: Italy

Region: Italy, Abruzzo

Grape variety: Pecorino

Background: Biodynamic wine is often considered superior to conventional wines, with better flavour, superior aroma, and more pleasant texture. Growers find that the biodynamic method yields a better growth balance, and ideal sugar content for the wine.  The mountainous Abruzzo region of central Italy is situated halfway up the 'boot' of Italy. Cantina Orsogna is an award-winning Abruzzo winery specialising in native grapes of the region such as Perricone, Cococciola and Pecorino. Orsogna are committed to the biodynamic principles by which they make their wine and have many certified Demeter biodynamic wines. This Pecorino is certified `Demeter` biodynamic, this means that the vineyard has been subjected only to completely natural processes.

Tasting notes: Intense candied nose, with fresh scents of hedgerow and orchard fruits. Straw yellow colour, intense nose with hints of broom, white fruits and ethereal. The palate is fresh, intense, and fruity with typically spicy flavours of ginger, white peaches and a long, full bodied, finish.
