Pecorino - Traube und Blatt

Origin

The origin (parentage) of the variety is unknown; one hypothesis suggests it is directly descended from a wild vine. It must not be confused with the Greco Bianco variety (synonym: Pecorino).

Characteristics

This medium-ripening vine, which produces variable yields, is highly resistant to both types of powdery mildew and moderately resistant to botrytis. It produces white wines characterised by high acidity, rich in extract and high in alcohol, with aromas of citrus fruits, green apple, pear and white flowers, as well as – with increasing maturity – often mineral and slightly spicy notes.
