Pecorino Grape

The Pecorino grape is an obscure white variety from the Marche region that has experienced a notable resurgence, particularly in Abruzzo. Named after the Italian word for sheep (pecora) because the animals loved to snack on the early-ripening, sweet fruit, it has evolved from a blending grape into a highly esteemed standalone varietal. On the nose, these wines offer enticing aromas of white flowers, fresh orchard fruits, and a subtle coastal minerality. The palate is characterized by a refreshing acidity, full body, and a persistent, slightly savory or almond-like finish. Whether enjoyed in their youthful, vibrant state or allowed to develop complexity with age, Pecorino wines offer a remarkably versatile drinking experience.
