Very pretty white stone fruits on the nose, good mineral depth on the palate. Great acids, great value. But aromas are a bit simple and fade quickly.

The 2019 Pecorino is a more elegant and savory expression of the variety, wafting up notes of green melon, geranium, hints of citrus and spring flowers. It’s silky upon entry, contrasted by bright acidity and tart orchard fruits, yet also with a cooling hint of fresh mint. This tapers off crunchy and nervous in feel, with cheek-puckering freshness and salty minerality. Enjoy the 2019 today for its pretty personality or through short-term cellaring. I must admit to finding its fragile personality quite appealing, and it’s such a contrast to most of the Pecorino coming out of the region today. (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2021)

Here it is another weekend. We have made it to another Friday and the weekend is upon us. I have opened the 2018 Colline Pescaresi Tiberio Pecorino from Abruzzo, Italy.
On the nose was very difficult to get the first readings until it came to room temperature. Once at room temperature I was able to get aromas of lime, yellow melon, almond butter, jasmine, sage and minerals.
On the palate the wine felt fresh with notes of lime, lemon, green apple, spice, floral notes, herbs, saline and a good minerality.
This wine is medium bodied with medium + to high acidity that leads to a long crisp, fresh, mineral, saline finish. The weekend looks to be a wonderful one that brings in a great fall season. Please stay healthy and safe and have a great fall weekend. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂

Zippy acidity with moderate plus alcohol. Peppery and lemony with pesto and wet stones.

The 2016 Tiberio Pecorino was remarkably fresh and pretty on the nose with an initial whiff of crushed limestone and saline minerality, followed by lemony citrus, yellow florals, sage, and wet stone. On the palate, I found unexpectedly round, pleasing textures offset by bright acidity, displaying ripe yellow apple, lime and hints of wild herbs. It finished long with a bump of mouthwatering acidity and saline-minerality. #collisioni17

2015. Lemon curd, melon rinds, ocean mist, sun-warmed meadow, both weighty and bracing with an everlasting stony finish. Worth throwing a few in the cellar for a couple years.
