• GRAPE
Pecorino, 85% minimum
Pecorino is an indigenous grape variety from Marche and Abruzzo. Already present before phylloxera, Pecorino has been gradually abandoned during the 20th century and replaced by other, more productive, varieties, like Trebbiano. Also known as “uva dei pecorari” (shepherd’s grape), this grape was considered of little value, suitable for humble people, like the “pecorari” (a derogatory word for shepherds).
