Caldora, Colle dei Venti Pecorino, Abruzzo, Italy, 2014

From a historic co-op in Abruzzo, this is a vibrant, characterful and creamy Pecorino which has seen 12 hours’ skin contact, malolactic fermentation and some oak barrel maturation. The textured palate follows on from the nose with apple, pear, almond and ground spices.
