Tasting note

Torre Zambra was one of the first Abruzzo wineries to wager on the renaissance of this heirloom vine- creating the Pecorino ?Colle Maggio?. The real origins of Pecorino are a mystery- although legends say its name comes from the fact that in ancient times the vines growing on Abruzzo mountains were the favourite snack for sheeps (?pecora? in Italian). A number of researchers believe the cultivar to be related to ?Greco?- of Greek origin- which later spread around the Campania region and other areas of southern Italy.
