Pecorino, “Giochermo Con i Fiori”
Giochermo Con i Fiori (We’ll Play With Flowers) is a seriously, care-free delight made entirely of the native grape, Pecorino. Pecorino has just recently returned to the wine world. In 2000 there were only 87 hectares of Pecorino in all of Italy. It is a low yield native variety that was left behind for more profitable commercial grapes. Fortunately, for wine lovers, it was “rediscovered” and is now one of the more popular white wines of Abruzzo and Marche.
Giochermo Con i Fiori begins with a gradual harvest, passing through the vineyards selecting only the ripe bunches. A traditional, non-intrusive vinification creates a wine which expresses Pecorino’s fundamental characteristics — freshness, aromatic complexity, and a lovely balance of acidity, minerality, and alcohol.
