Pecorino D'Abruzzo 2025

Tenuta Tre Gemme Pecorino d'Abruzzo 2025 is a beautifully fresh and expressive organic Italian white wine, produced by the family-owned Tenuta Tre Gemme estate in the hills of Abruzzo. Made from 100% Pecorino, one of central Italy's most distinctive indigenous white grape varieties, this wine combines vibrant citrus flavours, appealing fruit concentration and a refreshing mineral character.

The Perrucci family has cultivated vineyards in Abruzzo for generations. Today, sisters Carla and Anna Perrucci manage the estate, combining modern winemaking techniques with traditional vineyard practices. Their certified organic vineyards lie between the Adriatic Sea and the Gran Sasso mountains, where cooling breezes and significant day-to-night temperature differences help preserve freshness and aromatic intensity.

The grapes originate from approximately 10-year-old vines at 450 metres above sea level, growing on pebbly limestone soils near Civitaquana. These elevated vineyards provide excellent conditions for Pecorino, a naturally characterful grape capable of producing wines with pronounced acidity, expressive aromatics and considerable texture.

The 2025 displays a brilliant pale straw-yellow colour and an inviting bouquet of yellow apple, ripe pear, lemon zest and citrus fruits, complemented by delicate tropical-fruit and floral notes. Wine Enthusiast highlights its yellow apple, Bosc pear and lemon aromas, alongside savoury and nutty nuances.

On the palate, it is dry, crisp and beautifully balanced, with juicy orchard fruit, refreshing citrus acidity, subtle savoury complexity and a clean, persistent finish. Its lively freshness is complemented by enough texture and structure to make it an excellent food wine.

The grapes are harvested in mid-September and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. Carefully managed contact between the juice and grape skins helps extract aromatic compounds, enhancing the wine's fruit expression and complexity. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes approximately three months of bottle refinement, without oak maturation.

The 2025 vintage is particularly appealing for its youthful freshness, expressive fruit and lively acidity. Unlike richer, oak-aged Italian whites, this Pecorino emphasises purity of fruit, minerality and elegance, making it especially enjoyable in Singapore's tropical climate.

A delicious and characterful organic Italian white – bright citrus, ripe orchard fruit, delicate tropical aromas and a refreshing mineral finish. An excellent alternative to Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio for lovers of fresh, expressive white wines.
