Pecorino

A rising star of Italy’s Adriatic coast, Pecorino produces structured, mineral-driven whites with vibrant acidity. Named after the sheep (pecora) that once grazed near its vineyards, it offers citrus zest, green apple, and herbal complexity. Often compared to Sauvignon Blanc, it stands out for its balance of freshness and texture. Though nearly extinct, modern producers have revived it, showcasing its potential for age-worthy, terroir-expressive wines. With naturally high sugar levels balanced by acidity, it can achieve richness without heaviness. Whether vinified in stainless steel or oak, Pecorino is proving to be one of Italy’s most exciting whites.
