Pecorino
Filter
Pecorino is an ancient Italian white wine grape primarily grown in the Marche and Abruzzo regions of Italy. Though it was nearly extinct by the mid-20th century, dedicated winemakers in the 1980s and 1990s brought it back from obscurity. The resulting wines are often compared to Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay but with a more distinct character.
Pecorino characteristics
Color and aroma: Pecorino wines are typically straw-yellow and offer a floral bouquet with notes of jasmine and acacia. Some wines also have aromas of yellow fruits, lemon blossom, and herbs like thyme and sage.
Flavor profile: These wines are dry, with vibrant acidity and pronounced minerality. Flavors often include apricot, pear, peach, and lemon, with some styles showing tropical fruit notes like pineapple.
Body and aging: Pecorino tends to be a medium to full-bodied wine with a slightly richer mouthfeel. While many are best enjoyed young, more complex examples can age for several years.
Where it's grown
While Pecorino is most prominently grown in the central Italian regions of Marche and Abruzzo, smaller quantities can also be found in Umbria, Tuscany, and Lazio.
Marche: Considered the birthplace of the grape, this region's limestone soils produce Pecorino wines that are typically richer and more concentrated. The Offida DOCG is a key appellation for Pecorino here.
Abruzzo: This region's mix of high mountain altitudes and coastal hillsides also provides an ideal growing environment. The wines from Abruzzo tend to have a crisper style compared to those from Marche.
Pairing suggestions
The balanced acidity and floral, mineral notes of Pecorino make it a versatile wine to pair with food.
Seafood: Complements a variety of seafood, including grilled fish, shrimp, and shellfish.
Pasta and risotto: Works well with light pasta dishes that use lemon or seafood-based sauces, as well as creamy risottos.
Cheese: Naturally pairs with Pecorino cheese, as well as other semi-hard and aged

Mascot is a small-production label founded by Will Harlan in Napa Valley. The wines under this label are made from the younger vines of Harlan Estate, BOND, and Promontory, but The Mascot bottles share an exclusive preview at the development of their estates. Founded as an initial experiment to see what the young vines were capable of producing, the wines were initially only shared with close friends and family. By 2008, Will officially released the first vintage to the public since production had increased significantly. They create just one wine made from Cabernet Sauvignon, and the bottle is aged for five years before release. Assembled into a single, youthful expression, this wine shares a glimpse into the evolution and pedigree of its parent estates.
Tasting Notes:
Following a vintage full of changing conditions and demanding decision points, the steady and pleasant progress of the 2018 vintage left our team, at times, in limbo. Contradictory as it may seem, the dramas that sometimes punctuate the definitive months for the growing season help to frame the winegrowing team’s course of action; yet the tranquil succession of weeks that emerged between spring and fall in 2018 left almost entirely open the question of when to harvest. Healthy rainfall in March and April preceded a benevolent summer, whose mildness was interrupted only briefly by a few warming periods. The fruit of the young vines maintained a measured balance that gave the team little indication that harvest was imminent. Fog and temperate days followed in September, when—relying more on instinct than empirical cues—we began to pick. This judgment—as well as the gentle nature of the season—is confirmed in the subtle, ethereal power of the vintage, which reveals itself first in the deep, brooding aromas of dark fruit, black tea, and herbal notes. The texture expands around a lifted structure, as powdery tannins gently resolve. This diffused, enigmatic softness is anchored on the mid-palate by a gratifying density, which prepares the senses for a flourish of hidden energy and vivid detail that illuminates the finish.
Licenciado Rioja Reserva is made from 100% Tempranillo
This single vineyard wine is always produced from the same vineyard that is also used to make the Gran Reserva wine.
Licenciado shows a ruby red color and outstanding aromas of wild berries, vanilla and spice. The palate is well-balanced, rounded and elegant, and offers black pepper, ripe black fruits and vanilla flavors. Its freshness, oak ageing and high extraction guarantee a longevity of at least 10 years after the year of harvest.
Best enjoyed with red meat and game
Review:
Spicy peppercorns, black cherries, plums and a touch of cocoa powder. Medium-bodied with firm, fine tannins and an extensive finish. Drink now or hold.
