Marke Clara Marcelli 0.75 L – Offida DOCG Pecorino

The Marke Clara Marcelli is a DOCG Pecorino from the Clara Marcelli winery, a white wine distinguished by its powerful and vibrant temperament. Made from 100% Pecorino grapes from certified organic farming, the vineyards are located on clay soils at 250 meters above sea level. The manual harvest is accompanied by a meticulous selection of grapes, which are transferred to the winery and subjected to cold pre-fermentation maceration. Alcoholic fermentation occurs in wood thanks to the naturally present yeasts on the grapes and in the winery environment. Subsequently, the wine ages for 20 months in new wooden barrels before being bottled. In the glass, the Pecorino Marke by Clara Marcelli displays a radiant golden yellow hue. The aromatic profile is intense and varied, evoking suggestions of yellow fruits like peach and apricot, wilted yellow flowers, aromatic herbs, and sweet spices, with iodized echoes and a pleasant balsamic finish reminiscent of anise and mint. On the palate, the taste is powerful, fresh, and savory, characterized by remarkable mineral intensity and a persistent finish. About 1000 bottles are produced with a careful selection of the best-exposed Pecorino grapes, harvested at the right pH. The mass is then pressed and the must moved to the wood where alcoholic fermentation is completed. A subsequent evolution in new wood for about 20 months completes the vinification and aging cycle. This process gives the wine an intense yellow color with golden reflections. On the nose, it is very complex, with distinct sensations of lavender, citrus, white flowers, and ripe fruit. In the mouth, the entry is warm and enveloping, with mineral perceptions, a pronounced acidic vein, and a herbaceous and mentholated finish. The vinification of the grapes involves cold pre-fermentation maceration on the skins until the start of fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation occurs in wood with indigenous yeasts, followed by evolution in new wood for about 20 months. The organoleptic notes of “Marke” include a golden yellow color and typical aromas of evolved yellow fruits and flowers, like peach jam. Hints of saltiness and mint accompany the finish. In the mouth, the wine shows remarkable thickness and power, with a powerful and persistent mineral finish.
