Pecorino is one of Italy’s indigenous grape varieties cultivated in the hills of Abruzzo. It is known for its refreshing acidity, floral aromas, stone fruits, tropical fruit flavors and minerality. We share this indigenous heritage with Mecola, our ancestor who proudly defended the freedoms of the farmers of Abruzzo in the 1860s during the unification of Italy.
