APPELATION: Offida DOCG Pecorino
GRAPE VARIETY: 100% Pecorino

Pecorino, an ancient grape variety whose traces were being lost. Recovered, cultivated and then vinified in purity for the first time in 1990 by Guido Cocci Grifoni. 

A milestone of our hills, rediscovered through the adventurous spirit of Guido Cocci Grifoni. For years we have meticulously explored this wine intentions, respecting and nurturing its essence and inclinations. Today, it is a dry, bold wine with striking acidity, full-bodied and smooth. Fruity notes of ripe pear transition to floral hints of lily of the valley and broom, then return to the fruit.
Its freshness is highlighted by accents of lemongrass and sage, offering a delightful experience for many years to come.
