The name of the Pecorino grape variety, also known as “grape of the sheep”, derives from the strong connection between sheep farming and the presence of this grape variety in sheep grazing grounds. In the past, thanks to its high aroma concentration, good alcohol content, and most importantly its wonderful acidity (which is the most distinctive characteristic), this grape was used to improve the quality of wines produced with other varieties. However, the Pecorino variety had almost disappeared due to its very low productivity. Our Pecorino Project started in 2005 represents the new Umani Ronchi mission: the discovery and utilization of Adriatic native varieties.

A creamy and fresh white that has aromas of apricots, yellow peaches and salted almonds. Touch of jackfruit. It’s medium-bodied, fleshy and full of flavor. Drink now.
