This voluptuous and aromatic wine made from the Pecorino grape, indigenous to the region of Abruzzo, opens with an intoxicating bouquet of gardenia and orange blossom honey, then bursts onto the palate with a tropical cocktail of mango, pineapple, yellow peach, and mandarin orange. Bracing acidity and luscious fruit make this lively wine go on and on.
