COLLINE PECORINO, Falerio DOC Pecorino
Pecorino is a newly rediscovered grape, once forgotten because of the low yield that characterize this varietal.
In the 70’s it was found around a farmhouse at 800 meters a.s.l. and soon replanted fur further studies; the first ever vintage made with this grape dates back only to 1994, a very young grape with a great potential still to be discovered.
The legend says that its name derives from the transhumance history, which is still common in our Region: during the hot summer months the shepherds bring their sheep (in Italian language “pecore”) on the mountains to feed them with green pastures, where the Pecorino grape was also growing naturally.
So we could translate Pecorino as the "grape of the sheep".
