The Story
A truly great, genuinely unique Italian white from a producer who farms terroir as good as anyone in Abruzzo. Pecorino is the region's revived native grape, once nearly lost and now one of central Italy's most exciting whites, and Bianchi Grilli is Torre dei Beati's more ambitious, structured take on it. Fausto Albanesi works low-vigor hillside vines that yield concentrated, characterful fruit, and the result is a Pecorino with real depth: citrusy and herbal up front, with a textured, mineral core that gives it presence at the table. This is the kind of white that surprises people who think they know Italian wine. Distinctive, serious, and a genuine value for the quality.
