“…the undisputed quality leader when it comes to making Pecorino wine is the Tiberio estate.” - Ian D’Agata, Terroir Sense

“The 2024 Pecorino wafts up with an airy mix of mint leaf, chamomile and green melon nuances. It opens with a burst of zesty acidity contrasted by hints of candied citrus, spice and tart Granny Smith apple. The 2024 leaves the palate completely refreshed as it finishes long yet crisp.” 91 points - Eric Guido, Vinous

An extremely special wine in its own right as the subject of Cristiana’s investigation into biotypes and terroir around this ancient grape. Read an outline of Cristiana’s in-depth study HERE.
 
A 3.8 hectare vineyard planted at 380 metres to limestone and marly-gravel with different biotypes originating from the five original mothervines rediscovered on the property in 1999. The vineyard is divided into three sections and biotypes. The middle section, named CE, is the largest at 1.8 hectares and was planted in 2000. SX and DX make up the rest. CE is vinified separately to SX and DX with the final wine a 60/40 blend. The free run juice is spontaneously fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel. No malo. Unfined, unfiltered.
