Elegant wine as a button for fish dishes, pasta, white meat and cheeses.

This wine should not be mistaken for cheese but noticed, that the name of the Pecorino grape comes from sheep, who, while moving around the area, ate grapes. Fashionable Pecorino gives mineral and herbal wines. Pecorino accounts for 85% of the wine and the rest are Malvasia and Trebbiano grapes. Demeter-certified biodynamic wine has a designation of origin Pecorino Terre di Chieti IGP and low yields of vines. The grapes were gently pressed with a pneumatic press, the juice was allowed to walk on natural yeasts in a steel tank at a low temperature for 30 days. This organic wine suits vegans.

Producer story

Cantina Orsogna is an award-winning cooperative in Abruzzo, focusing on indigenous grape varieties such as Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Cococciola, Trebbiano d’Abruzzo, and Pecorino. Orsogna is committed to biodynamic practices in winemaking, and many of their wines hold strict Demeter certification. Through their Lunaria brand, they participate in the World Wildlife Fund's wolf conservation project, aimed at preserving the native wolves of Abruzzo and Calabria. Instead of traditional capsules, the bottles are sealed with rustic twine managed by the local BABALU Friendship Farm. Their dedication and trust in the original nature, its charm, and the unveiling of its best qualities, have resulted in the Lunaria wine series, harmoniously blending excellence and strong personality. In the background, the sea and the Majella National Park immerse into dreams that give birth to ambitious projects. All of Orsogna's wines are organic and suitable for vegans.
