Nello Cucina's Wine of the Month - Pecorino, Monti Guidi del Carmine, 2010 IGT

Monti Guidi del Carmine, Pecorino, 2010 IGT
is Nello Cucina’s Wine of the Month for September.

Located near Abruzzo in the Terre di Chieti IGT (indicazione geografica tipica) region,

this varietal is made from 100% Pecorino grapes.

Handpicked, in early September, this selection of grape is considered one of the most Italic grape families still in existence.

Refined in stainless steel tanks for several months before released,

produces a full-bodied white wine with modest acidity.

Exhibiting flavors & aromas of white spices, yellow fruits, with scents of green apples & bananas, followed by nutty hints of almonds & hazelnuts.
Pairs perfectly with fish, white meats, cheeses & salads.

creamy Caesar dressing

Spiedini di Pesce Misto

Skewers of grilled mixed seafood, marinated in citrus, E.V.O.O. & tarragon, served over linguine, garlic & oil
