About this WINE
Cantina Frentana
Cantina Frentana, founded in 1958, is located on the Majella hills near to the Costa dei Trabocchi on the East coast of Italy. The chalky soil, mixture of sea and land breeze and the natural mitigation of the sea make it an ideal location for the grapes that are produced.
The vineyards bank, known as Banca dei vigneti, uses organic production techniques and has been cultivated from many years of shared knowledge and experience. Moving forward, the entire vineyard at Cantina Frentana is working towards being cultivated organically.

Description
You may know Pecorino as a hard Italian sheep’s cheese, not unlike Parmesan in style. Meaning ‘little sheep’ and linked only etymologically, it is also the name of a grape variety from central Italy, currently enjoying a modest, modish revival, having been ousted by Trebbiano. It is now found in Abruzzo, the Marche, Umbria and Tuscany.
Typically Italianate in its minerality, this has a delicate, summery perfume with hints of apricot and jasmine, and a herbal element akin to fennel or liquorice; not too full-bodied and definitely offering something a little unusual. Ideally drink this as young as possible, but it will last a year or two.
