The Wine
A cheerful coastal white shaped by organic farming in the hills above Tortoreto - within view of the Adriatic, whose salinity adds a food-friendly savoriness to the wine.
Aromatic hints of lemon zest, white peach, pear skin and wild herbs, all atop a chalky minerality contributed by the limestone soils and briny Adriatic breezes.
The palate is crisp textural, showing citrus zest, crushed stone and a faint bitter almond note on the finish.
Pairings: Fresh goat cheeses such as chèvre or Cabecou, or soft‑ripened options like Brie or Mt Tam. Young Comté or Gruyère highlight Pecorino’s subtle nuttiness, and delicate sheep’s‑milk cheeses echo its savory, coastal character.
The Winery
Terraviva is a small, family-owned and organically farmed estate in Abruzzo. It was founded by Pietro Topi and Pina Di Simone, who are now passing control to their next generation.
Their vineyards sit on breezy hillsides overlooking the Adriatic, which shapes their wines that have become known for clarity, enticing aromatics and understated elegance.
The cellar work is intentionally gentle, emphasizing fruit purity and the natural freshness of native varieties. Pecorino is one of their standout bottlings - vibrant, savory and a reflection of the coastal landscape of Tortoreto.
