LACANOSA Offida Pecorino DOCG 'Peko'

Peko is named after Pecorino, a variety with a past linked to the

pastoral tradition of the Piceno area. According to legend, during the

transhumance (cattle drive) this grape - already ripe - was the

favorite food of the sheep. So shepherds called it the "Sheep’s

grape." A romantic symbol of man’s indissoluble bond with the land

and the vines which still characterize our history, Pecorino is a

variety that goes back a long long way.
