Historical grape varieties of Italy | Classic
In addition to internationally known and appreciated grape varieties, numerous indigenous (autochthonous) grape varieties are cultivated throughout Italy. Despite their value, some of them were ignored for a long time and almost forgotten. In recent decades, Italian winegrowers and wineries have increasingly begun to recover this treasure trove of vines.
Among these autochthonous varieties are also some historical grape varieties that were previously overlooked and are therefore almost extinct today. Recent research has shown that these varieties have great potential, which has not yet been fully explored due to a lack of technology and studies.
These include both red and white grape varieties, such as Pecorino or Vernaccia Nera. These grape varieties are of high quality and are also highly resistant to pests and diseases. Another plus point is the fact that some of the 'forgotten' grape varieties (such as Garofanata) produce less alcoholic wines than the international Chardonnay grape variety, for example - and with a comparable aroma. The Italian winegrowing landscape is gradually revealing its secrets, and artisan winemakers are striving to make these secrets palatable. - Gerardo [TS03/24]

Casa Montori · Pecorino Colli Aprutini IGT 2023Camillo Montori, Abruzzo
The indigenous Pecorino grape variety gives rise to this white wine full of character: the Casa version is slightly more delicate than Montori's Pecorino from the Fonte Cupa line, while being more accessible. Its color is a brilliant pale yellow, the bouquet is reminiscent of tropical fruits and some grapefruit, fresh and lively on the palate. - Gerardo [TS04/24]

Ciprea · Offida Pecorino DOC 2021 (Bio)Simone Capecci, Marche
Ciprea is the result of years of research and breeding of the local Pecorino variety: the delicate aromas are reminiscent of exotic fruits such as banana and pineapple. On the palate, it is excellently structured and supported by fine acidity. Simone Capecci's Ciprea sits longer on the fine lees and then matures in bottle for further refinement. A well-structured white wine with aging potential. 100% Pecorino. - Gerardo [TS06/22]

Mvria · Offida Pecorino DOC 2016Simone Capecci, Marche
The Pecorino Mvria shows a straw yellow color with light golden reflections and varied brilliance. This Pecorino really lies in the glass and moves slowly, a sign of high consistency. The intense bouquet is very aromatic, mixing notes of herbs with a fruity touch of yellow fruit sage and ripe jujube. The palate is powerful and very pleasant, soft velvety and at the same time powerful. Persistent the finish. - Gerardo [TS06/17]
