95 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team

"Caldora Colle dei Venti Pecorino is a standout white from old vines in Abruzzo, offering freshness and minerality that call Chablis to mind. Pale straw in the glass, it opens with aromas of citrus, green apple, and delicate pear, layered with subtle herbal notes. The palate is crisp and lively, with a stony mineral backbone that drives the wine and adds a touch of saline tension. Medium-bodied yet elegant, it shows a refined balance of ripe fruit and bright acidity, finishing long and clean"
- Wine Direct

Made from 100% Pecorino grapes, it showcases notes of citrus, green apple, and white peach, with floral hints and a subtle mineral finish. The palate is crisp and lively, with well-balanced acidity and a refreshing finish. The fruit for this wine comes off the ‘Colle dei Venti’ vineyard. This translates to ‘hill of the wind’ and refers to the cooling breezes from the Adriatic. The cooling breeze comes through in the afternoon, giving the vines respite from the heat.
