Vintage Character The 2024 vintage of Tiberio Colline Pescaresi Pecorino IGT is a lively white wine from Abruzzo, crafted from the region’s indigenous Pecorino grape. Benefiting from a warm, sunny growing season balanced by cool nighttime temperatures, the 2024 harvest yielded wines with vibrant aromatics and pronounced acidity. This Pecorino opens with delicate notes of white blossom, wild herbs, and citrus zest, unfolding on the palate with crisp green apple, ripe pear, and subtle saline undertones.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Its texture is both elegant and mouth-filling, finishing with a clean persistence that highlights the grape’s natural zest and minerality. Versatile at the table, it pairs beautifully with grilled sea bass, burrata accompanied by heirloom tomatoes, or steamed Cantonese prawns, making it an excellent choice for Mediterranean fare and select Asian-inspired dishes.
Winery Background Founded by Riccardo Tiberio in 2000, the Tiberio estate is recognized for its dedication to native Abruzzese varieties and a philosophy of minimal intervention in winemaking. The family’s vineyards, situated in the Colline Pescaresi hills at altitudes around 350 meters, benefit from mineral-rich soils and a climate that favors expressive, terroir-driven wines. Tiberio employs sustainable farming practices and maintains low yields to ensure concentration and purity of fruit, with fermentation carried out using natural yeasts to preserve varietal character. Their commitment to authenticity and quality has established Tiberio as a benchmark producer for Pecorino in Abruzzo, consistently delivering wines that reflect the region’s unique landscape and heritage.
