Tiberio Pecorino 2018

Pecorino is an ancient variety that has always called the mountains Appennine ridges of the Marche and Abruzzo its home. A low yielding variety due to sterility of the basal buds, over the centuries farmers shied away from it preferring instead to plant easier to grow, more productive varieties; and so, Pecorino was all but forgotten, and nearly extinct by the 1970s.Times change and today high yields are less important than they once were: modern day wine lovers now clamor for high quality grape varieties.
