2024 Ciù Ciù 'Merlettaie' Offida Pecorino

Named after the traditional lace makers of Offida, 'Merlettaie', Pecorino is one of the Marche’s most distinctive white grapes. 

Made from 100% Pecorino, the wine comes from vineyards at 280 metres above sea level and is harvested by hand at the end of September. Fermentation takes place in medium-sized oak barrels, where the wine remains on its fermentation lees for 6 months, followed by 3 months of bottle refinement, giving the wine more depth and roundness while preserving its fresh, mineral character.

In the glass, it shows a straw-yellow colour.  The nose is full of yellow apple, peach, citrus peel, wild flowers, aromatic herbs and a light honeyed note. On the palate, it is ripe, and round with a bright texture and beautiful line of fine acidity providing a clean flow to finish.

100% Organic & Vegan.

This is prefect introduction to classic, savoury Italian white wines and also excellent value for money.

Perfect with seafood, grilled fish, white meats, vegetable dishes, fresh cheeses, saffron risotto and lightly spiced cuisine.
