ABOUT THIS WINE

The producer, Collevite, is part of Cantina della Marca, established by local entrepreneurs in 2008 with a focus on indigenous grapes from the Ascoli Piceno province. The Pecorino grape itself is an ancient variety originating from the mountainous areas of southern Marche, with its name possibly derived from the Italian word for sheep, 'pecora'.
