| Winery | The name of the Pecorino grape variety, also known as the “grape of the sheep”, derives from the strong connection between sheep farming and agriculture, and the presence of this grape variety in the areas of shepherds’ transhumance. In the past, this grape variety, thanks to its high aroma concentration, its good alcohol content, and even more thanks to its wonderful acidity which is the most distinctive characteristic of Pecorino, was used to improve the quality of wines produced with other varieties. Pecorino growing had almost disappeared because of its very low productivity, and varieties which were quality-wise of a lower level, but which had a higher productivity, had been preferred to Pecorino. Our Pecorino Project started in 2005 and represents the new Umani Ronchi front in its discovery and exploitation of Adriatic native varieties, as well as a strengthening of our position in the Abruzzi region. Pecorino vines are trained in our Roseto degli Abruzzi estate that overlooks the Grand Sasso mountain, and complete the grapes needed with strict selections led by our agronomic supervision, especially in the northern part of Chieti. Soil is here mainly clay—sandy, deep, and rather fresh. The area enjoys a good terminal range which grants elegance and complexity of aromas. |
