Guido Cocci Grifoni

White as the canvas on which to write a story, that of a family and a winery that intertwine like letters in the signature of Guido Cocci Grifoni, placed on the first bill of exchange. It is the reconstruction and the memory of a moment in the history of our winery.

Our first hectare, where the story of Pecorino began, is dedicated to Guido Cocci Grifoni. This is our latest expression of Pecorino, crafted in a limited number of numbered bottles. Using descriptors for a wine with a lifespan of over a decade seems inadequate,
so we’ll offer just a few notes. Among our whites, it is the fullest, most saline and smooth. It opens with notes of ripe apple and pomegranate, then transitions to intense, fleshy yellow flowers. Aromatic herbs come forward decisively, accompanied by a captivating scent of star anise.
