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

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]
