The Torre Raone Pecorino d'Abruzzo 2024 is a crisp, organic white wine from the Colline Pescaresi IGT in Italy's Abruzzo region, crafted from 100% Pecorino grapes sourced from 15-year-old vines in three estate vineyards in Loreto Aprutino at 350 meters elevation, planted in calcareous clay soils with south-southeast exposure. Harvested in mid-September, this vintage reflects a story of friendship, born from a casual card game between two lifelong companions who founded the estate. The nose is fresh and inviting, featuring aromas of yellow apple, lemon, crushed rocks, new leather, white flowers, and peach, with underlying minerality. On the palate, it delivers a dry, warm, and softly textured profile with zippy acidity, salty minerals, and savory spice, unfolding into flavors of citrus, apricot jam, dates, dried fruits, sour melon, green apple, almond, and hints of tropical notes and green herbs, culminating in a persistent, pleasant finish with citrus zest. Winemaking emphasizes freshness through cold skin maceration for 6-12 hours, temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation, and aging for four months in tank followed by two in bottle, resulting in a mineral-driven wine at 12% ABV with aging potential and an average rating of 3.8 from thousands of reviews. With around 600 cases produced annually, it's versatile for pairings like seafood, light pasta, cheeses, or as an aperitif, offering excellent value and a benchmark expression of the Pecorino grape.
