Contesa Pecorino 2011, Colline Pescaresi IGT £9.99 12.50% Cork 30% oak fermented Love the crazy scribbled sheep on the label. Pecorino is the variety and has nothing to do with cheese. Sweet, ripe, spicy, southern, herbal nose. This is from Abruzzo, so you’d expect it to be low on acidity. This takes the low acidity quite far. It’s ripe and rather like apricots with basil. Now, there’s an idea. Roero Arneis 2011, Marco Porello £9.99 13% Cork Ripe, spicy nose, with hint of peardrop. Full-flavoured and needs food. Vermentino 2011, Poggioargentiera £9.99 13.50% Cork Rich, fruity nose. Savoury, dry and full-flavoured. Vernaccia di San Gimignano 2011, A Passoni £9.99 12.5% Cork Very savoury, almost musty, aroma. Not good on the palate – out of balance. |
