Contesa Abruzzo Pecorino

Contesa Abruzzo Pecorino

From £18.00

Available from at least one local seller

Perennially amongst our top sellers for very obvious reasons: it’s lovely and, for a wine of this quality, very reasonably priced. From the same region as its famous counterpart – Pecorino cheese – (nobody’s really sure but the thinking is that this vine produces bunches of grapes similar in shape to both the cheese and the head of a lamb: ‘pecorino’ in the local dialect) – this wine shares its cheesy cousin’s saltiness along with refreshing minerality. Try the two together but make sure you get a good Pecorino to go with our great Pecorino… one of those cheeses with the salt crystals in it. Match made if not in heaven then definitely in Abruzzo.
