Located on the hills that rise from the Adriatic Sea and neighbouring the coastal town of Vasto in Abruzzo, the Jasci family has been growing grapes and producing wine for three generations.
This vegan-certified wine made from Pecorino grapes is elegant and delicate, and shows aromas of grapefruit, apricots and nectarines. On the palate is pleasant, fresh and light-bodied. This Pecorino wine has a special saltiness and an aftertaste of bitter almonds.
Wines made from Pecorino pair extremely well with Pecorino cheeses drizzled with a bit of honey as well as vegetables, fish and white meats.
Donatello Jasci and his family tend the vines and produce the wines at Jasci (yah-shee) on an organic estate that covers 42 hectaires, or more than 90 acres. The estate has been certified organic since 1980 when Donatello’s mother developed a health problem related to the use of pesticides.
Today, they are one of the only estates in the world to hold organic certification in every country in the world. Donatello’s approach in the cellar is consistent with his farming: clean and simple. The wines see little or no oak and have a purity of flavor that is rare at the price. In addition to his duties at the winery, Donatello Jasci has served as the President of the local Organic Growers’ Consortium.
