History and Winemaking
Piandimare is a well-known winery in Abruzzo. They focus on local grapes and traditional methods. Pecorino, one of the region’s best grapes, grows well in the hillside vineyards of Colline Teatine. The higher ground and sea breezes help the grapes stay fresh and full of aroma. In 2023, the winemakers took extra care to keep the fruit flavours fresh and clean. As a result, the wine is both bright and full of character.

Pairings
This Pecorino is a vibrant, expressive white wine that pairs beautifully with a range of dishes. Its crisp acidity and citrus-driven profile make it a natural companion to seafood, enhancing the sweetness of grilled prawns, seared scallops, or baked white fish with herbs. The wine’s minerality and fresh finish balance the richness of creamy pasta dishes such as linguine with clams or tagliatelle in a lemon-butter sauce. It also complements white meats like herb-roasted chicken or turkey, especially when served with Mediterranean sides. For vegetarian fare, this Pecorino shines alongside stuffed peppers, grilled zucchini, or fresh salads dressed with lemon and olive oil. On a cheese board, it pairs well with soft, tangy cheeses like goat’s cheese, young Pecorino (the cheese), or even a mild Taleggio. Bright, layered, and elegantly structured, this wine brings coastal freshness to every glass.
