THE WINE

The Pecorino grape, known for its small, dense berries, produces a wine that is rich and full-bodied, with an intense color. This Pecorino wine comes from the region where the grape is native and boasts a nose of ripe melon, yellow pear, papaya, and guava, complemented by aromatic lilac and honeysuckle. The palate is fresh with a touch of bitterness and herbal notes. For the best experience, it should be served at around 50°F.

THE WINERY

Located in the hills of Castorano, Ascoli Piceno, the Allevi family has cultivated a small plot of land for over forty years with a deep passion for their craft. They draw inspiration from Dante Alighieri’s Inferno, believing that their love for their vines is reciprocated through the production of high-quality, unique wines. The estate grows four indigenous grape varieties: Passerina, Pecorino, Sangiovese, and Montepulciano, on south-facing hills protected from sea winds. The region’s mild climate, ample sunlight, and abundant water create an ideal environment for these precious grapes.
