The 2019 Pecorino Don Carlino is spicy and sweetly floral, with a whiff of ginger giving way to spring flowers and a hint of wet stone. It’s soft in texture, with a pretty inner sweetness offset by salty acids, as minerals and tart orchard fruits create a display of tension toward the close. Hints of spiced orange and tangerine linger through the long and cheek-puckering finale. The 2019 Don Carlino is a stunning expression of Pecorino, yet it could use a year of cellaring to come fully into focus. (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2021)

Elegant and herbaceous with earthy undertones. Notes of citrus fruits and hazelnut with good acidity

Lots of crisp green apple underpinned by savory herbal minerality. Good flavor concentration and vigor. Valentini’s neighbors!

Wow! Such a spectrum of aromas: banana, candied citrus zest, caramel, red apple peel and a slight oxidized note. It has a plerhora of apple aromas and reminds me of what I find in basque sidra!
Creamy with a balanced, high acidity. Super drinkable!

Salty, nutty wine that finishes with screaming citrus and acid. Really cool introduction to pecorino
