This vine was mentioned for the first time by Cato the Censor in the second century BC, who attributed the origin of this kind of grapes to the Greek colonists. The Pecorino grapes seem to derive their name from the fact that the sheep, walking through the vineyards, would have shown several times to like the fruits.

This superior pecorino comes from the white vineyard, a spiteful vineyard because, despite our attentions, it has very low yields, as if it wanted to avoid the effort of producing more grapes. But then he is forgiven by giving us a unique, fresh and voluminous wine, which you will never tire of drinking. It is the "rogue" of Fontefico.
