Contesa is a Pecorino from Abruzzo, produced by di Rocco Pasetti in Italy's central Adriatic region. This is the 2024 vintage, offered in a half-bottle format. Pecorino is a white varietal native to central Italy, prized for its mineral character and bright acidity.
The wine shows crisp, clean fruit on the nose with a lively palate that balances weight and freshness. There's a saline minerality running through it, with white stone fruit and citrus notes that linger without heaviness. It's the kind of wine that drinks best young, when its clarity and energy are most apparent.
