Fantini Farnese

This Pecorino is "electric," featuring intense aromas of green apple, jasmine, and exotic fruit. The palate is bone-dry and refreshingly crisp, with a "stony" minerality and a long, zesty finish that leaves the mouth feeling clean. It’s a high-energy white with great personality.

Info:

Interesting: "Calalenta" refers to the night harvest, done to keep the grapes cool and preserve their delicate aromas.

Did You Know? The Pecorino grape has nothing to do with the cheese; it was named because sheep (pecora) used to eat the sweet grapes.

Pairing: Fresh calamari or a goat cheese salad; a warm summer afternoon.

Ideal for The Purist

Your mouth is a "cut-seeker." You likely have a lower sensitivity to acidity than the average person, meaning you need more zesty, sour punch to feel satisfied. Conversely, you are highly sensitive to sugar and viscosity; thick, sweet textures feel "cloying" or suffocating to your tongue. You crave the physical sensation of salivation - that "electric" feeling on the sides of your jaw is your primary measure of a wine's quality.
