Extra notes:

• The name Pecorino is historically linked to the ancient practice of transhumance, as sheep (pecore in Italian) were said to be fond of these early-ripening grapes as they moved through the hillside vineyards.
• Tenuta Ulisse, founded by brothers Antonio and Luigi Ulisse, is renowned for its innovative winemaking techniques, including cryo-selection and cryomaceration, and its commitment to expressing the true character of Abruzzo’s indigenous grapes.
