Tiberio was one of the earlier adopters of producing high-quality Pecorino and one of the few producers in the Abruzzo region of Italy that helped bring this grape variety out of obscurity. However, it largely remains an unsung white variety, which in the case of this 2020 Tibero, translates to superb value. If you love Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc, Pecorino is a delicious alternative. The 2020 Pecorino showcases a lively, medium-bodied palate with flavors of yellow pear, peach, nectarine, and fennel, and a touch of salty minerality wrapped around the expressive, caressing finish. Not surprisingly, the bright acidity of this wine pairs beautifully with the fatty character of Pecorino cheese.
