Terra Fageto Fenesia Pecorino DOCG 0.75 ltr 12.5%

Organic

Pecorino is a white grape variety that was once widespread in the Piceno area. The origins of this grape are not very clear. The first bibliographical traces of Pecorino date back to the time of Cato the Censor who classified it, along with other grape varieties, in the amine group. Today, thanks to restoration and selection work and the courage of some winemakers, these wines are starting to appear on the shelves again.
