About This Wine:
The Pecorino vines take its name from the old tradition of the transhumance. During this period, shepherds were bringing their sheeps in the hilly area surrounded by pecorino vines. Sheep used to like this type of grape, so shepherds were referrring to these vines as “pecorino” because it comes from “pecora” sheep in italian. The denomination of DOCG became Offida DOCG only in 2011.

Tasting Notes:
Bright gold with very lively reflections from the fine, elegant and very persistent perlage. Intense, sumptuous, elegant. It releases great complexity and intensity: white and yellow flowers, ripe and tropical fruit, pineapple, peaches, mango, hints of acacia, lily, sage and chamomile with some hints of vanilla and white pepper. Pleasant silky attack on the palate. Long persistence and good balance with fruity and floral hints. Great persistence with a long finish. The less cold temperature enhances the softness and favors the smoothness of the sip.
