Belisario also offers another fundamental native grape variety: Pecorino. In this Falerio Pecorino DOC 2025, the winery applies its usual technical rigor to enhance the natural qualities of this grape, which is capable of producing wines of great character, structure, and an almost sharp freshness.
Belisario - Falerio Pecorino DOC 2025
Belisario's Falerio Pecorino 2025 is a white wine that impresses with its vigor and personality. Pecorino, a rediscovered and beloved grape for its incredible acidity and generous body, finds a modern and extremely clean interpretation in this version. Although the winery is a temple to Verdicchio, with this Pecorino, it demonstrates its ability to manage the grape varieties of southern Marche, offering a wine that plays entirely on verticality and aromatic intensity. It is a solid white, edgy in the best sense of the word, perfect for those seeking a decisive and refreshing sip.
Sensory Profile It appears in the glass with a luminous straw-yellow color with citrus reflections. The bouquet is intense and varietal: notes of exotic fruit (pineapple and passion fruit) stand out, blending with hints of aromatic herbs like thyme and sage, with a citrusy finish of grapefruit. On the palate, the entry is direct and taut; the distinct acidity typical of the grape is well balanced by good alcoholic structure and an almost marine savory trail. The finish is persistent, clean, with mineral and fresh fruit returns.
Vinification and Aging The grapes are harvested early to preserve their acidic profile. Vinification takes place strictly "in white" with soft pressing and controlled temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The exclusive use of steel allows the integrity of the fruit and the vivacity of the grape variety to be maintained. After a brief period of aging on the fine lees to give creaminess to the sip, the wine is bottled to preserve its natural fragrance.
Food Pairings Its high acidity makes it ideal with rich and savory dishes. Excellent with fried fish, "olive ascolane," "vincisgrassi" (Marche-style lasagna), or pasta dishes with structured fish sauces. It also pairs very well with medium-aged Pecorino cheeses and dishes based on flavorful white meats.
