Bringing a Taste of Italy to Sydney’s East
At De Iuliis, we believe wine is a bridge between heritage and place. That’s why we were absolutely thrilled to see our 2024 Steven Vineyard Pecorino being poured at Gran Torino, the vibrant Italian-inspired destination in Double Bay.
Seeing our wine on a list that celebrates authentic flavour and craftsmanship is a proud moment for our family. Even better? Seeing it enjoyed alongside some of the finest wines in the country.
A Nod to Our Heritage
The Pecorino grape is deeply rooted in Italian tradition, and for the De Iuliis family, it’s more than just a varietal—it’s a connection to our history. Our Steven Vineyard Pecorino is grown right here in the Hunter Valley, but its soul is Mediterranean.
It’s a wine defined by:
Bright Acidity: Perfect for the coastal vibes of Double Bay.
Textural Depth: Making it a versatile partner for Gran Torino’s artisan menu.
A Sense of Place: Highlighting the unique terroir of the iconic Steven Vineyard.
The Sommelier’s Touch: Alexander Kirkwood
A great wine needs a great storyteller. We want to extend a sincere thank you to Sommelier Alexander Kirkwood at Gran Torino. Alexander’s eye for detail and appreciation for wines with a narrative has given our Pecorino a fantastic platform.
When a sommelier chooses to showcase a wine like ours, they aren’t just picking a bottle; they are celebrating the Hunter Valley’s ability to innovate while honoring old-world roots.
Experience De Iuliis in the Hunter or the City
If you find yourself in Double Bay, we highly recommend visiting Gran Torino for a glass of the 2024 Pecorino, paired with their incredible Italian fare.
