Very dry, mineral forward and very clean and light; no after flavors the acid just sustains with a pleasant citrus. I will definitely need to look for Pecorino again. — 5 days 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!!! — 3 years ago

VELENOSI, Offida DOCG 2024, Pecorino, Marche, Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
100% Pecorino from the Offida DOCG in Marche, one of the highest qualitative expressions of this once nearly-forgotten indigenous grape. A refined yet approachable interpretation showing how Pecorino can balance freshness, texture, and understated sophistication.

Aromas & Flavors
Delicate white peach, citrus zest, green apple, subtle floral notes, and a gentle herbal nuance. Flavorful without being loud, everything precise, clean, and beautifully integrated.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with a smooth, lightly creamy texture balanced by vibrant acidity. Casual in spirit yet polished in execution. The finish is clean, persistent, and quietly elegant.

Food Pairings
Grilled branzino, lemon herb chicken, pasta with clams, burrata with olive oil, or simple seafood risotto.

Verdict
Terrific expression of DOCG Pecorino. Subtle, flavorful, and texturally engaging, a wine that delivers both everyday pleasure and elevated finesse.

Did You Know?
Pecorino was close to extinction in the late 20th century before being revived in central Italy. Offida DOCG represents one of its most structured and age-worthy forms.

🍷 Personal Pick
The best Pecorino I’ve tasted so far — proof that this grape, when handled seriously, offers far more than a casual summer white. — 4 months ago

Passerina is an ancient grape grown in Marche in clay and calcareous soil. Fermented in stainless steel with ageing “sur lies” for 4 months.
Fragrant and floral with citrus and honeysuckle on the nose. Dry with medium acidity. Pear, almond and citrus with a savoury, stoney minerality on the finish.
We BBQ‘d local fish.
