Pecorino is a white grape variety found in Abruzzo and is now making a comeback with a younger generation of winemakers appreciating its structured and floral style. Alcohol is generally higher than other white varieties in the region.
Pecorino is a white wine grape variety that is native to Italy and is grown primarily in the Marche and Abruzzo regions. The wine it produces is crisp, fresh, and lively, with bright citrus and green fruit flavors and a minerally finish. It is known for its high acidity and relatively low alcohol content, making it an ideal choice for a refreshing summer sipper or a pairing with light, flavorful dishes.
Pecorino experienced a little moment of hype and success over the last few years. It has slipped from the conversation again recently. Why this seems to be the case isn't clear. The wines are consistently good.
For wine lovers looking to try Pecorino for the first time, some top recommendations include: Colli Aprutini IGP Pecorino by Villa Russiz , Terre degli Osci IGP Pecorino by Di Majo Norante, and Colli Pescaresi IGP Pecorino by Tenuta Sant'Antonio.
