Pecorino 'Falerio' 2021

88

The 2021 Pecorino Falerio is delicate and airy in the glass, wafting up with candid lime, chamomile and sweet smoke aromas. This is round and juicy, with ripe orchard fruits and hints of green melon that emerge toward the close. It finishes fresh with a tactile mineral crunch and mint hints to gradually fade.

Brilliant medium-intense yellow; aromas of lemon zest, acacia and a hint of basil and sage. Medium-full with very good richness on the mid-palate; notable persistence; there is a distinct minerality in the finish, which displays notes of tangerine and apple rind. Impressive complexity and varietal focus. Enjoy over the next 3-6 years.

Sour melon contrasts sweet white flowers and a whiff of incense as the 2020 Pecorino Falerio opens in the glass. This is almost velvety in feel yet lifted throughout, with creamy waves of ripe orchard fruits giving way to savory herbal tones. It becomes spicy and leaves a salty flourish through the medium-length finale.
