The 2010 Pecorino Terre di Chieti shows lovely focus and energy in its crisp fruit and perfumed, expressive aromatics. Mint and floral notes reappear to frame the finish. This isn't the most varietally expressive Pecorino out there, but it nevertheless delivers excellent quality and value. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2016.
