Poggio Anima Gabriel Pecorino Terre di Chieti IGT

Crystallized lime peel, nectarine and dry herbs on the nose. Juicy and lively with a nice density conveying a dusty citrus zest character and an impression of orchard fruits. Less than one kilometer from the cliffs descending into the Adriatic Sea sits a vineyard perched on a steep slope planted with Montepulciano and Pecorino. The pecorino is hand-harvested on the early side to preserve freshness and not get into the straw color/baked orchard fruits that often occur with this grape.
