Offida Pecorino - Pistillo - Poderi San Lazzaro

The Pistillo by Poderi San Lazzaro is a Offida Pecorino DOCG made from grapes of pure Pecorino, grown on the hills of Offida, in the Ascoli Piceno area. It is a wine that precisely expresses the character of this ancient Marche grape variety, combining freshness, savoriness, and structure to a pleasant softness.

The grapes are harvested between the first and second halves of September, with careful selection of the grapes. Fermentation takes place as a white wine at a controlled temperature, while aging alternates between steel and oak barrels, with part of the wine maturing in wood and frequent bâtonnage. This process enriches the structure and complexity of the Pecorino without masking its varietal identity.

In the glass, Pistillo shows a bright yellow tending toward gold. The aromatic profile is elegant and complex, with citrusy notes and hints of peach, accompanied by herbal nuances of alfalfa and delicate spicy notes of coriander. On the palate it is fresh, soft, and savory, with good structure and a persistent finish. Aging in wood adds roundness and complexity while preserving the typical freshness of Pecorino.

It is a particularly versatile white at the table: ideal with fish appetizers, seafood first courses, crustaceans, and mollusks, but its structure and softness also make it interesting with white meats, roasted or grilled dishes, and moderately aged cheeses. It is recommended to serve it at around 8–10 °C.

The Pistillo represents one of the most interesting interpretations of Marche Pecorino: a wine that reflects its territory and pairs well with food, combining the grape's natural energy with greater depth and softness. A bottle selected by Emporio diVino for those who want to discover the authentic expressions of the Marche through small producers and native grape varieties.
