Pecorello Bianco IGT 2023 - Ippolito

Pecorello Ippolito: Mediterranean freshness made in Calabria

Pecorello Ippolito is a pure white wine from Calabria that revives one of Southern Italy’s most intriguing native grapes. Vinified by Ippolito 1845 with technical precision and territorial respect, it offers an authentic and contemporary interpretation of this historic variety. Hand-harvested in early September, the Pecorello grapes undergo cold decantation and controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Aging continues in the same tanks until the end of January, preserving the wine’s natural freshness and aromatic integrity. In the glass, Pecorello Ippolito shines with a bright straw yellow hue. The nose is complex and Mediterranean, revealing notes of ripe citrus, yellow-fleshed fruit, and delicate mineral hints. On the palate, it is vibrant and well-balanced, with crisp acidity and a savory, lingering finish. Perfect with seafood dishes, raw fish, or light fried fare, it also pairs beautifully with herb risottos and soft cheeses. Whether for a summer evening dinner or a seaside lunch, Pecorello Ippolito is an excellent choice for those looking to rediscover the honest and genuine taste of Calabria.
