The nose is complex and evocative, offering aromas of dried Mediterranean herbs like sage and thyme, alongside ripe yellow peach, honeyed citrus, and a distinct flinty minerality. On the palate, it is remarkably textured and \"vibrant,\" showing the characteristic high acidity of the Pecorino grape balanced by a slight phenolic grip from the amphora. Flavors of golden apple and almond skin lead to a long, savory, and intensely mineral finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotes\u003c\/b\u003e: This wine belongs to Cirelli’s \"Anfora\" range, representing the pinnacle of his artisanal approach. The juice is fermented and aged in 800-liter terracotta amphorae. The clay's breathability allows for slow, natural oxygenation that softens the wine's structure without oaky influence, resulting in a pure, ancient expression of the Pecorino variety. It is produced with minimal sulfur and bottled without fining or filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/b\u003e: A fantastic match for rich seafood like grilled octopus or swordfish, as well as herb-roasted poultry, mushroom risotto, and, naturally, aged Pecorino Abruzzese cheese. Its structure also allows it to stand up to white meats like veal or pork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinery Story\u003c\/b\u003e: Francesco Cirelli’s estate in Teramo is more than a winery; it is a holistic farm where olive trees, fig trees, and animals live in harmony with the vines. Cirelli is a staunch advocate for biodiversity and organic farming. His work with amphorae is a tribute to ancient winemaking traditions, aiming to strip away modern artifice to reveal the true, raw character of the Abruzzese terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Native Selection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50244877844737,"sku":"cirelliamphorapecorino","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/files\/cirelli-anfora.png?v=1787821400","url":"https:\/\/arrowine.com\/products\/cirelli-abruzzo-pecorino-doc-amphora-2022","provider":"Arrowine \u0026 Cheese","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
