This wine displays a cheerful, bright golden color, and aromas of ripe spicy peaches with a hint of orange zest. It is fresh and round in the mouth boasting ripe peach. It will be a welcome guest at holiday parties and dinners. It is made from Pecorino, a grape that shares the name with an Italian sheep cheese. According to Ian D’Gata’s Native Wine Grapes of Italy, the name referred to the grapes that sheep herders ate while shepherding their flocks.
