Radica Pecorino

Vigneti Radica has been through three generations of the Radica family winemakers: grandfather Rocco, father Antonio, Giacomo Radica today. The Radica family kept bulls for generations, which is reflected in the distinctive label design. The 30 hectares of Radica vineyards extend across four municipalities in the Abruzzo Region: Fara Filiourum Petri, Ari, Tollo and Ortona between the sea and the mountains. They use only their own fruit and the majority of their vineyards are now certified organic. Their wines are precisely made in a modern, fruit forward style which reflects the varieties and their origins. The core range offers a great value organic option for both trade and consumers, while the top red is a top quality example of Montepulciano.

Radica’s Pecorino IGT Terre di Chieti is from a South-East facing vineyard in Villagrande di Ortona a couple of kilometres from the sea at 100 metres altitude, planted on clay-alkaline soils with a slope of 7%. Vines are trained to guyot trellising. Unoaked with vibrant notes of melon, blossom and peach skin with a plump texture and fresh almond and minerals on the refreshing finish. Certified organic.
