Pecorino is having a moment, and for good reason. Full-bodied with natural salinity, citrus, wild herbs, and a round, persistent finish — it drinks richer than its acidity suggests. Controguerra is one of the few DOC appellations in Abruzzo where Pecorino is recognized as a standalone varietal wine, and this is a textbook example of why the grape deserves attention. Place it alongside your best Vermentino and Assyrtiko and let it compete.
