Umani Ronchi Vellodoro Terre d'Abruzzo Pecorino IGT 2024

Pecorino — Abruzzo's ancient white grape — at its most expressive and mineral.

The name Pecorino, also known as the 'grape of the sheep', derives from the deep connection between sheep farming and agriculture in Abruzzo, and the presence of this variety along the ancient routes of shepherds' transhumance. Umani Ronchi's Vellodoro captures the variety's defining character: intense aromatics, vivid mineral freshness, and a structure that belies its approachable price.
