STORY
The Pecorino name has its claim on the sharp, crumbly cheese beloved by many, but these days, the Pecorino grape is making a name for itself. And it’s no wonder—X Pecorino brings forth vibrant fruits, irresistible aromatics, and a moment for small batches and big explorations. Freshness and texture perfectly tied together.
