Saladini Pilastri – Pecorino – Offida DOCG
Offida DOCG | Le Marche, Italy 🇮🇹

Overview:
A classic Le Marche white made from 100% Pecorino, organically farmed by Saladini Pilastri. This is a textbook expression of the grape: mineral-driven, citrus-forward, and effortlessly food friendly.

Aromas & Flavors:
Bright citrus, lemon zest, grapefruit, subtle white flowers, and a clean stony/mineral core. Fresh and precise without excess aromatics.

Mouthfeel:
Medium-bodied with lively acidity and a gentle, saline edge. Approachable yet structured enough to hold its own at the table.

Food Pairings:
Perfect with Adriatic seafood, grilled fish, shellfish, vegetable-based pasta, fresh cheeses, and classic Mediterranean dishes.

Verdict:
A reliable, authentic Pecorino that delivers exactly what you want from Offida DOCG, purity, balance, and versatility. Organic farming adds an extra layer of appeal.

Did You Know?
Despite its name, Pecorino has nothing to do with sheep or cheese. It’s an ancient indigenous grape of central Italy, prized for its natural acidity and mineral tension, making it one of Italy’s most food-friendly whites.

🍷 Personal Pick Highlight
A go-to Italian white for the table, fresh, mineral, and honest. This is the kind of wine that quietly elevates food without stealing the spotlight. — 21 days ago

Golden yellow straw color with visible effervescence.
Unripe peach on the nose. Crisp and juicy, low acid with chewy structure before an intense, long dry finish.

Excellent for the price! — 8 months ago

We opened this 21018 on November 18,2023 because I wanted one more glass to wrap up the night after a wonderful dinner of osso bucco, Milanese risotto and barbaresco. Thought my husband might pass this one as it is higher alcohol than he likes but wow we were both pleasantly surprised. First sip gives me anise, some chocolate and herbs like Rosemary. It’s beautiful already and we just opened this puppy!!! — 2 years ago
