Description

The Pasetti Colle Civetta Pecorino d'Abruzzo is a testament to the unique terroir of the Abruzzo region in Italy. The Pasetti family has been crafting exceptional wines for generations, combining traditional methods with modern innovation to create wines that truly express the character of the land. Abruzzo, nestled between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine Mountains, offers a diverse landscape that’s perfectly suited for viticulture. The high altitude vineyards benefit from warm days and cool nights, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The Pecorino grape, native to this region, thrives in these conditions, yielding wines with bright acidity, aromatic intensity, and a distinctive mineral character. The Colle Civetta is a shining example of what Pecorino can achieve. From the moment you pour it into your glass, you'll be greeted by a bouquet of delicate floral aromas, reminiscent of acacia blossoms and honeysuckle, intertwined with crisp notes of green apple, pear, and a hint of citrus. On the palate, this wine is vibrant and refreshing. Its dry style is perfectly balanced by a lively acidity, which gives it a mouthwatering quality. The fruity flavors persist, accompanied by a subtle minerality that reflects the calcareous soils of the vineyards. The finish is long and elegant, leaving a pleasant sensation of freshness. This wine is an ideal companion to a wide range of dishes. Its bright acidity and aromatic complexity make it a perfect match for seafood, especially grilled fish, shrimp scampi, or oysters on the half shell. It also pairs beautifully with light salads, creamy risottos, and fresh cheeses. For a truly authentic Abruzzese experience, try it with the region’s signature dish, 'arrosticini' (grilled lamb skewers), or with a plate of 'pallotte cacio e uova' (cheese and egg fritters). It would also be a great accompaniment to sushi or sashimi. Its crispness and minerality cut through the richness of the fish, while its aromatic intensity complements the delicate flavors. Serve it chilled, between 8-10°C (46-50°F), to fully appreciate its refreshing qualities. No need to decant, but you can open it a few minutes before serving, and remember to chill it to 10°C.
