Wines made from Pecorino grapes of Tuscany
Discover the best wines made with Pecorino as a single variety or as a blend of Tuscany.
Structured, aromatic whites with firm acidity and an ample mouth, featuring aromas of citrus, yellow peach, aromatic herbs (sage, thyme), almond, white flowers and saline mineral notes. Fine length and ageing capacity. Star of Offida Pecorino DOCG in the Marche and Abruzzo Pecorino DOC, driving force behind the revival of great modern Adriatic whites. Native Italian grape rediscovered in the 1980s after near-disappearance.
Kingdom of Sangiovese: upright reds with cherry, plum, dried herbs and leather, lively acidity and firm tannins. Fleshy, food-friendly Chianti Classico DOCG, deep long-ageing Brunello di Montalcino (spice, tobacco, ripe black fruit), elegant Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. On the coast, Bolgheri crafts the opulent Cabernet- and Merlot-based 'Super Tuscans'. Some fresh white Vernaccia.
