Best Wines of Le Marche: Ciù Ciù Offida Pecorino DOCG Le Merlettaie | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia | Scoop.it

The lace workers of Offida weave together the threads, with precise and quick movement of their fingers. They are the last witnesses of a precious art of ancient origin… so it is the origin of Pecorino, a noble Italic, austere, harsh and strong grape’s variety, which has been confined for decades onto the bare and steep slopes of the Piceno Apennines. A few wine growers have recently rediscovered this wine thanks to their love and enthusiasm. Pecorino is rare, precious and able to exhale a strong personality recalling ethereal and persistent sensations, year after year. Its personality and strength are harmonically enhanced by fermentation in “noble” wood, a perfect example of the past combined with a new oenological knowledge.

Straw yellow, crystal clear and consistent. The aroma has predominantly floral perfumes of acacia and hawthom:fruits of apple, peach and banana. To the taste it is warm, soft enogh and fresh. Full bodies, averagely persistent, with the end characterized by a floral return
