Pecorino I.G.T. Of Chieti Hills


Shadow







That fruit gives back all the passion and the devotion put into the cultivation of the vine: a wine of great aromatic intensity, always amazing. The name “Pecorino” is still a mystery, but through several hypothesis, the most presumable is the one linked to the transhumance (“pecora” means “sheep”), typical of Abruzzo. It seems that sheep really liked this type of grapes that, ripening before the others, were very sweet in sheep transiting time, in mid-September.

To achieve excellence, vine needs high and fresh hills, with large temperature range. In addition to early maturation, these grapes are very sugary and it determines high alcohol contents and wines with a tasty marked acidity.
