Colli Aprutini IGT Pecorino Emidio Pepe 2021

The wine

This cuvée of pure Roditis comes from vines grown at high altitude. Its nose is fresh with notes of citrus fruits (lime, mandarin), white fruits and apricot. On the palate, an energetic vibrancy perfectly balances the generous texture, conferring a nice length. This fresh and taut wine will work wonders at aperitif.

About the Producer Emidio Pepe

Located in the north of the Abruzzo region, Emidio Pepe’s domaine has been producing some of the finest wines in the region since the 1960s. Emidio Pepe has carved out his success story single-handedly from a one-hectare parcel in 1964. Today, his daughter and granddaughter work the domaine, which has now expanded to 15 hectares. He vinifies in a neutral concrete vat and presses his grapes by hand and foot, like his predecessors. Applying principles adopted from biodynamic management, Emidio Pepe produces characteristic, distinguished, elegant wines reflecting the region’s particularly interesting terroir.
