The name of Pecorino grape variety, also known as “grape of the sheep”, derives from the strong connection between sheep farming and agriculture and the presence of this grape variety in the areas of sheep grazing grounds. 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.

This wine has a brilliant straw yellow color. The mouth shows a good structure and a pleasant freshness, with ripen fruit and sapid hints.. The nose presents intense aromas of fruit and flowers, with very clear mineral notes, intense and persistent.   

Ideal with fish dishes, fresh cheeses, pasta, and legume soups. Vegan-Friendly   Winemaker Notes

93 Points - James Suckling

Sliced apples and a tinge of lime cordial on the nose and palate, together with creamy, savory minerals. Flavorful palate with medium body, a dense texture and a long finish. Lots to like here.
