A traditional Falerio DOC Pecorino from the hills of Piceno, produced by CasalFarneto in the Ascoli Piceno province. This white wine reflects the historic character of the region and the natural expression of the Pecorino grape, combining freshness, minerality and balance in a style that honours both tradition and varietal identity.
Tasting Notes:
Straw yellow in colour, the nose is quite intense and persistent, showing notes of white flowers and fruit alongside delicate hints of acacia and broom. On the palate the varietal character is clearly expressed, with balanced flavours of citrus and stone fruit supported by freshness and a subtle mineral edge. The finish is fine and persistent, with a lightly bitter nuance that adds complexity and definition.
Winemaking:
Grapes are grown on clay-rich, southeast-facing hillside vineyards in the Ascoli Piceno area, where soil and exposure contribute to the wine’s structure and minerality. After soft pressing, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve aromatic purity. The wine is refined for three months in steel and a minimum of two months in bottle before release, ensuring harmony and integration.
Food Pairing:
An excellent aperitif and a natural partner for seafood dishes, vegetable soups and medium-structured cheeses. It also pairs beautifully with the local speciality of Oliva Ascolana del Piceno – breaded olives stuffed with meat – and other Mediterranean cuisine.
ABV: 13.5%
