"Other good Italian whites which are well worth a try when you are tired of Pinot Grigio include ..... Pecorino 2007 which should not be confused with the cheese of the same name. Pecorino is another recently-rescued Italian grape variety with rounded, nutty flavours which really comes into its own when put alongside food. It has enough acidity and body to combine with whatever is on the plate - even grilled meats and fish." Yorkshire Post, 10/05/2008

"Contesa Pecorino 2007 is nothing to do with the cheese! Rather Pecorino is a grape that is undergoing something of a resurgence in the Abruzzi. It's crisper than the Verdicchio, but there's also plenty of plush citrus and ripe red apple flavours, plus a minerally tang to the finish." Square Meal Lifestyle Magazine Summer 2009

"The answer is both, although not in the same bottle. Pecorino is a little-known white grape from the Abruzzo region that can be delicious - and great value for money. This is rich and ginger spicy with notes of hazelnut and butter and citrus peel acidity. Very flavoursome by the neutral standards of Italian bianchi." 90/100, The Wine Gang
