Pecorino
Pecorino is a white grape variety native to central Italy, particularly the Marche and Abruzzo regions, known for producing crisp, aromatic wines with a distinct character. The grape has an ancient heritage but was nearly forgotten until it was revived by local winemakers in the 1980s and 1990s. Today, Pecorino wines have regained popularity for their bright acidity, freshness, and complexity.
Wines made from Pecorino grapes typically exhibit aromas of citrus fruits, white flowers, and herbs, with flavors of green apple, pear, and lemon zest. The wines often have a slightly mineral undertone, reflecting the influence of the hilly, limestone-rich terroir where the grapes are grown. Pecorino is known for its naturally high acidity and moderate alcohol content, which make it refreshing and versatile, suitable for both casual sipping and pairing with food.
Pecorino wines are often enjoyed alongside seafood, light pasta dishes, and salads, as the wine’s crispness and minerality complement a variety of Mediterranean flavors. It is a highly regarded variety in Italy, valued for its ability to express the unique characteristics of the region while remaining approachable and enjoyable for a wide range of palates.
