Parsifal Pecorino

Manlio Mergé began his winemaking career in the Frascati area bordering Monte Porzio Catone, but it was with the arrival of his children, Massimiliano, Marco, Maria-Beatrice, and Marianna, that the winery became a key player in Frascati viticulture, committed to pursuing production that respects and embraces the culture of its terroir.

From the deep passion and experience passed down from generation to generation by the Mergè family, Parsifal Pecorino is born, a wine that celebrates the richness and authenticity of the Lazio region. Casata Mergè, with a deep-rooted winemaking history and an unwavering commitment to quality, masterfully dedicates itself to the valorization of native and international grape varieties, best expressing the unique character of its lands. Parsifal Pecorino is the epitome of this philosophy: a white wine that embodies the rustic elegance and vivacity of the Pecorino grape, rediscovered and carefully cultivated in the estate’s sun-drenched vineyards. Through careful and respectful winemaking, Casata Mergè brings a captivating sensory experience to the table, a tale of tradition, innovation, and love for the land. Ideal for those seeking a wine with character, a distinctive personality, and a satisfying drinkability, Parsifal Pecorino is an excellent choice for enriching your special moments and everyday occasions.

Casata Mergè’s Parsifal Pecorino reveals itself to the eye with an intense and luminous straw yellow color, often enriched with subtle golden highlights that hint at its structure. On the nose, its organoleptic characteristics offer a fascinating and complex aromatic bouquet. Notes of white-fleshed fruit, such as peach and pear, are immediately perceptible, complemented by citrusy hints of grapefruit and lime. Delicate floral nuances reminiscent of hawthorn and acacia are also evident, enhanced by a distinctive fresh herbaceous note and a distinctive minerality, typical of the Pecorino grape, which amplifies its complexity. On the palate, the wine is full and vigorous, characterized by a pronounced freshness and lively acidity, well-balanced by a pleasant smoothness. The finish is long and persistent, with an aftertaste that echoes the fruity and mineral notes perceived on the nose, leaving a sensation of cleanliness and harmony. Thanks to its structure and bold aromatic profile, Parsifal Pecorino lends itself to numerous food pairings. It is an excellent companion for seafood and meat appetizers, traditional Mediterranean first courses, such as seafood risottos or pasta dishes with vegetables. It pairs splendidly with fish-based dishes, even the most elaborate and flavorful, and with white meats. Its intrinsic savory character also makes it ideal for pairing with fresh or medium-aged cheeses, delicate cured meats, and flavorful vegetarian dishes.
