Saladini Pilastri – Pecorino – Offida DOCG
Offida DOCG | Le Marche, Italy 🇮🇹

Overview:
A classic Le Marche white made from 100% Pecorino, organically farmed by Saladini Pilastri. This is a textbook expression of the grape: mineral-driven, citrus-forward, and effortlessly food friendly.

Aromas & Flavors:
Bright citrus, lemon zest, grapefruit, subtle white flowers, and a clean stony/mineral core. Fresh and precise without excess aromatics.

Mouthfeel:
Medium-bodied with lively acidity and a gentle, saline edge. Approachable yet structured enough to hold its own at the table.

Food Pairings:
Perfect with Adriatic seafood, grilled fish, shellfish, vegetable-based pasta, fresh cheeses, and classic Mediterranean dishes.

Verdict:
A reliable, authentic Pecorino that delivers exactly what you want from Offida DOCG, purity, balance, and versatility. Organic farming adds an extra layer of appeal.

Did You Know?
Despite its name, Pecorino has nothing to do with sheep or cheese. It’s an ancient indigenous grape of central Italy, prized for its natural acidity and mineral tension, making it one of Italy’s most food-friendly whites.

🍷 Personal Pick Highlight
A go-to Italian white for the table, fresh, mineral, and honest. This is the kind of wine that quietly elevates food without stealing the spotlight. — 9 days ago

One of the better roses I've had. Inexpensive- fruit and balanced mouth- dry with a pleasant finish. No sour notes I find in many roses. — 9 years ago

Montepulciano/Sangiovese blend. A touch of plum, with black cherries on the mid palate. A kiss of oak spices, and a speinkling of brick and dust. A pop of acidity lets you know it's clearly Italian — 10 years ago
