Pecorino | Grape variety
Admittedly, whoever hears the name Pecorino - first thinks of the well-known Italian sheep's cheese. Less well known, however, is that there is also a white grape variety called Pecorino. This is grown mainly in the Marche, Abruzzo and occasionally in Lazio and Umbria. Except for the name, however, the variety has nothing in common with sheep cheese.
For the origin of the name there are various theories and stories: Some farmers of the Marche claim that sheep eat the Pecorino grapes with special preference. Others explain to us during our last visit to the site that the berries of Pecorino are sometimes as small as sheep droppings and therefore have a certain resemblance. So far, some winemakers have cultivated and vinified this grape variety on its own with great success. The results based on the recultivated grape variety are now more than respectable, they reach a high level. - Gerardo
