2025 The Little Wine Company Pecorino

The Little Wine Company has been sending me wine for an eon, and I am grateful for that, particularly as they do such distinct things with lesser-seen varieties for the region. Kudos. Pecorino can often veer into lean, undistinguished, plain, dry white wine territory but this ups the ante. Texture is richer than expected, deeper concentration of flavours, a scratch of grip and chalkiness, some tart, tonic and lemon verbena characters in lime, red apple and cumquat. It’s got great perfume, it feels super refreshing too. All up, it ticks a lot of boxes and elevates the variety. Go forth with your summery intent.
