Luigi Valori Abruzzo Pecorino 2020 is an organic Pecorino wine from the Abruzzo region of Italy. The winery’s best-selling wine, this Pecorino originates in the Teramo Hills, just a few kilometres from the sea, therefore benefiting from the cooling ocean breezes. The vineyard soils are sandy and rich in minerals which partly accounts for the mineral notes in the wine. The Pecorino grape is making a bit of a comeback and it thrives at altitude in the Abruzzo region.
Luigi Valori Abruzzo Pecorino wine is quite complex has a distinct lemony zip and additional fruit flavours of white peach, honeydew melon and pear. In addition to the mineral edge, you can also detect hints of the local herbs and of salinity. On the nose, there are clear but not over-powering floral aromas like jasmine and acacia alongside the fruity aromas. This wine is medium-bodied and well-balanced as the mineral-edged acidity and lemon zip break through the fruit flavours.
If you are a football fan, Luigi Valori may ring a bell as he was a professional football player before hanging up his boots in the early 1980s and studying oenology. In 1996 he bought his first vineyard and built it into the one of the leading wineries in the Abruzzo region. Meeting Gianni Masciarelli influenced his wine-making and now Luigi’s wines are part of the Masciarelli group’s distribution line.
For another wine from Abruzzo in Italy, take a look at Tenuta Ulisse Amaranta Montepulciano d’Abruzzo.

The producer suggests this is “An excellent wine for oysters and other fish dishes.” I agree. It has sufficient body to stand up to a wide range of foods but very strong flavours would mask the beauty of this wine. Enjoy it on its own too.
Serve at: 7 – 9°C
“This Pecorino is highly valued for its organoleptic qualities, distinguishing itself on the nose with fine notes of Mediterranean scrubland, on the palate for its extreme freshness and crispness.”
90 points – WineCritics.com – Oct 21
“Intriguing and well-designed offers notes of broom, helichrysum, dried elder, marjoram and green tea. Medium body, harmonious and balanced structure and a pleasant and juicy finish.”
RobertParker.com said of a previous vintage “…an immensely versatile and lovely white wine.”
