The perfect climate, with abundant sunshine, cool sea breezes, and falling nighttime temperatures, creates the perfect environment for Pecorino. The grapes grow steadily and develop a wealth of flavors from the old stems. Once the grapes reach full ripeness, they are partially harvested by hand and rigorously selected. Only the finest bunches make it into the bottle, a fact that is clearly evident in the pure attack of this white wine. After pressing, a split is made between 20 percent oak aging and 80 percent steel barrel aging. This proved to be a success! Aging is crucial for this white Pecorino, as it gives it a full, dense, and well-structured finish.
The aroma is overwhelming, incredibly rich with notes of ripe pears, apples, balsamic vinegar, and a hint of wood. On the palate, this Vanita has the true characteristics of the Pecorino grape: very round and broad on the attack with flavors of yellow and white fruit, and of course, some vanilla and oak. But simply so well-balanced, it's a true TOP-PERFORMER for this price point.
