Pecorino is one of the most fascinating stories of revival in the Italian vineyard. An almost forgotten variety from the Apennines, which nearly disappeared during the 20th century due to its low and inconsistent yields, has made a strong comeback thanks to its unique character. Its name is linked to the shepherds of Central Italy (pecora means “sheep” in Italian) and the flocks of sheep that crossed the mountain passes, drawn by the variety’s sweet, golden-yellow grapes. In the hills of Orsogna, between the Adriatic Sea and the Majella Mountains, Cantina Orsogna cultivates Pecorino biodynamically, highlighting its natural intensity and distinctive character. The result is a wine with aromas of white-fleshed fruits, flowers, citrus, and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it combines richness and vibrancy, with lively acidity, pronounced minerality, and a characteristic salty finish. A white wine with depth, energy, and gastronomic character, proving why Pecorino is now considered one of Central Italy’s most exciting grape varieties.
