A literal "black sheep," Pecoranera is a blend of Freisa, Barbera, Dolcetto, and Merlot. It undergoes 40 days of skin contact with native yeasts, spontaneous fermentation, 12 months of ageing in steel tanks and oak barrels, and 8 years in bottles. Around 15,000 bottles are produced annually.

Notes of autumn forest floor, raspberry, herbaceous tones like dried cooking herbs, tobacco, and fruits. On the palate, it offers dry tannins, but despite the intensity, they are well integrated and balanced by higher acidity and overall juiciness with neat fruit quality. Still feels insanely young. Great wine.
Wine #4 on Tenuta Grillo by Vasyl Velykanskiy event.
