PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This 2024 Pecorino from Velenosi—Villa Angela, Offida DOCG—presents a striking white wine that balances ripe tropical fruit and citrus zest with lively salinity and herbal nuance. It feels fresh and vibrant, yet with enough body and complexity to drink beyond “just a summer wine.” A versatile sipper that works well alone or paired.
Producer & Region: Made by Velenosi in the Marche region, Offida zone, Italy. DOCG status for Pecorino (Offida) ensures high standards.
Grape Variety: 100% Pecorino.
Terroir & Vineyard: Grapes from vineyards in Ascoli Piceno and Offida, planted at moderate altitude (200-300 m), on soils that tend toward medium texture with sandy components.
Vinification: Harvest by hand; fermentation in stainless steel tanks; aging on fine lees to add texture and deepen flavors.
Specs: Alcohol around 13% vol. First vintage dates from 2011.
| Element | Notes |
|---|---|
| Colour / Appearance | Bright straw-gold with lively reflections; looks fresh and luminous in the glass. |
| Nose / Aroma | Ripe tropical fruit: pineapple, yellow plum, mango; also green apple and peach; floral undertones (white flowers, acacia, maybe chamomile); and subtle herbal/sage and dry spices (vanilla or white pepper lightly) adding complexity. |
| Palate / Taste | Medium- to full-bodied; fruit carries through—tangerine, orange peel, peach; fresh acidity; touches of pith and zest; salty or mineral freshness gives tension and enhances the finish. |
| Finish | Long and persistent; flavors linger with citrus zest, fruit, some floral echoes, and a hint of saline/mineral note. Good balance between richness and brightness. |
Here are food matches that bring out the best in this wine:
Seafood & Shellfish: Grilled shrimp, oysters, or ceviche—to marry the wine’s salinity and fruit freshness.
Light Fish Dishes: Cod, sea bass, or mild white fish with citrus-based sauces or herbs.
Vegetables & Salads: Green herbs, fresh garden salads; dishes with mint, basil, sage; perhaps zucchini or cucumber-based.
Asian/Spicy Light: Lighter Thai or Vietnamese dishes with citrus or ginger; sushi or sashimi.
Cheese & Appetizers: Mild soft cheeses, fresh goat cheese, or ricotta; antipasti with herbs, citrus, or fresh tomatoes.
Fruit & Dessert: Fruits like peach or apricot; citrus sorbet; desserts that are not too sweet, with citrus or stone fruit character.
