Tasting Notes: The Emidio Pepe Pecorino jumps from the glass with sweet summer corn, meyer lemon and citrus notes. The palate has more orchard fruit, apricots, raspberry and hints of chamomile and almond. A taut acidity laced with mineral notes rounds out the long and creamy finish.
Estate History: Emidio Pepe started his estate in Torano Nuovo, Abruzzo in 1964 after learning from his father and grandfather, who both produced wines for Casa Pepe going back to 1889. Emidio saw untapped potential for both Montepulciano and Trebbiano grape types and began work to bring them to their full potential.
Now, 50 years later, this estate still run by Emidio with the help of the entire family, continues to be the benchmark for quality in Abruzzo.
