Velenosi Reve Offida Pecorino 2021

Velenosi Rêve Offida Pecorino 2021 pours a bright straw-yellow color highlighted by evident golden reflections in the glass. Sourced from north-facing estate vineyards situated at 200 meters above sea level in the clay-sandy soils of Ascoli Piceno and Castel di Lama, this late-harvested, 100% Pecorino undergoes a meticulous vinification where 50% of the must is fermented and aged in new oak barriques while the remainder rests in stainless steel. The bouquet opens with an elegant structure and aromatic depth, unfolding intense scents of white flowers and ripe orchard fruits seamlessly wrapped in an intoxicating backdrop of warm vanilla spice. On the palate, the wine delivers a persuasive opulence and substantial textural richness that remains perfectly balanced by a piercing, vibrant line of natural acidity. Engaging, deep, and penetrating, it concludes with a remarkably persistent, dry finish marked by a clean, lingering mineral focus.
