The Pecorino grape variety is cultivated mainly in central Italy in the Marche and Abruzzo growing regions along the eastern Adriatic coast, as well as in Umbria and Lazio. The vineyard area across Italy had shrunk to a manageable 213 hectares. With the growing popularity of regional, indigenous varieties, it is now being planted more frequently again. Distinctive scent of dried apple, flowers and a hint of herbal liqueur. Also beautifully spicy in the mouth, yet juicy with a fresh, citrus acidity.
