Emanuele Dianetti Offida Pecorino "Vignagiulia" 2019

In the Marche region of central Italy, the Dianetti family’s vineyards are planted on wild hillsides in an amphitheater not far from the Adriatic Sea. The harmony of their wines is due to the extreme day-to-night temperature variations arising from the sea breezes from the Adriatic. Benefitting from this superb locale, Dianetti’s impeccably balanced Offida Pecorino reflects a light straw-gold hue followed by refreshing aromas of grapefruit, pear, fennel, and sage. Brisk and invigorating on the palate, Dianetti’s Pecorino parlays its riveting acidity to buoy a kernel of green plum and lemon accented by a persistent undercurrent of saline minerals. Reprises of lemon, salty calcareous minerals, rubbed sage, and fresh peat linger on the wine’s long finish. Enjoy this brilliant Pecorino now and over the coming two years with pasta sauced with white seafood pasta dishes, spaghetti alla carbonara, broiled swordfish, fluke crudo, seafood stews, sauteed zucchini, and anything topped liberally with good Pecorino Romano cheese.
