Barone di Valforte Pecorino

Bareone Valforte is an Abruzzo producer focused on showcasing regional grape varieties in an approachable, modern style. Pecorino, an indigenous central Italian white variety, has seen a resurgence in recent years due to its naturally high acidity, aromatic intensity, and ability to maintain freshness in warm climates.

The vineyards in Abruzzo benefit from a combination of Adriatic coastal influence and mountain proximity, creating warm days and cooler nights that help preserve acidity and aromatic detail. The wine is typically fermented in stainless steel to maintain varietal purity and freshness, with minimal intervention and no oak influence.

The style emphasizes clean fruit expression, minerality, and balance.
