Thought to have been extinct in the mid-20th Century, the Pecorino grape was rediscovered in an overgrown vineyard in the hills of Marche. Since the 1990s, new plantings have grown exponentially, thanks to this grape's luscious orchard and exotic fruit, complex sweet spice and fresh saline minerality.
"An 'occasion' wine with an everyday price, its power and complexity have led some Italians to describe wines made from the Pecorino grape as red wine dressed up as white."
