Velenosi Querciantica Pecorino Offida DOCG

Offida DOCG, Italy

Aged briefly in stainless steel and large Slavonian oak to preserve Pecorino's aromatic expressiveness. Pale straw with green glints, the nose opens with white peach, lemon blossom, and fennel frond over a stony mineral base. The palate is full-bodied with a creamy mid-palate, lively grapefruit acidity, and a long, saline-mineral finish that recalls Adriatic sea breezes.

Pairing intelligence

• fish course: Coastal Marche Pecorino's citrus-mineral character is the traditional accompaniment for Adriatic seafood prepared with wild herbs
• main: High acidity and saline mineral notes are ideal with clam pasta; the wine's body matches the briny sweetness of vongole
• starter: Pecorino's creamy texture mirrors burrata's richness while citrus acidity cuts through dairy fat; almond adds texture contrast
