Terre di Chieti IGT, Italy
Taste the artistry of fine winemaking in the 91 Point Masterworks Series: Botticelli Pecorino
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Masterworks Series
Pecorino
The pairing of art and wine is a classic combination. No art gallery opening is complete without a glass of wine, and we think that no bottle is complete without great art. With so many decisions to be made, from selecting grapes at the vineyard to bottling the juice months later at the winery, making wine ends up being an act of expression that says as much about a culture as any art form. This wine is a beautiful Italian Pecorino that hails from Terre di Chieti in Abruzzo and is as expressive and dazzling as the “Birth of Venus” that graces the front of the bottle. The light but fragrant white wine is an exploration of tropical fruits, white flowers, and a balanced profile. Judges love it too! It took home 91 points from the 2019 New York International Wine Competition!

WINE REGION:
Terre di Chieti IGT
A small appellation within central Italy’s Abruzzo region, Terre di Chieti is nestled in the foothills and is home to both red and white varietals. Thanks to influences from the nearby Adriatic Sea, the region experiences a traditional Mediterranean climate. Unlike many of its counterparts throughout the country, wines from Terre di Chieti are not subject to the governance of DOC or DOCG restrictions—rather, they are subject to the IGT/IGP classification, which is simply a focus on geography. Because of this, winemakers have extreme flexibility in how they go about producing their wines. The IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) classification system was created to provide more freedom and ease for winemaking within Italy. Wines under the IGT classification are regulated on the region of origin—where within the country grapes are grown—instead of varietals or wine styles as DOC and DOCG laws focus on.

This is a tropical and exciting wine to drink. We love the light but fragrant white and think it is as good on its own as it is with fresh foods.
