Product notes

The lace-makers of Offida weave the threads together with precise and swift finger movements. They are the last witnesses of a precious art with ancient origins... and so is the origin of Pecorino, a noble Italic grape variety, austere, tough, and strong, which had been confined for decades to the bare and steep slopes of the Apennine Mountains in the Piceno region. Recently, a few winemakers have rediscovered this wine thanks to their passion and enthusiasm. Pecorino is rare, precious, and capable of exhaling a strong personality, evoking ethereal and persistent sensations, year after year. Its character and strength are harmoniously highlighted by fermentation in "noble" woods, a perfect example of the past combined with new oenological expertise

Production notes

The settled must fermented in medium-sized oak barrels, where the wine is aged for about 6 months on the fermentation lees.

Tasting notes

Deep straw-yellow color. Very intense and persistent aroma of herbs and hawthorn flowers, with a hint of vanilla. Fresh and savory, pleasant and soft on the palate.
