Descrizione

This Pecorino Offida DOCG Colle Vecchio from Cocci Grifoni shows a clear, straightforward personality typical of the variety. In the glass it displays a bright straw hue; on the nose it opens with notes of ripe white fruit, bread crust and subtle floral hints, underpinned by saline and mineral tones. The palate is fresh, with a balanced acidity that supports a medium-bodied structure; the finish is clean and invites a second sip without being intrusive.

It pairs well with delicate seafood dishes, grilled fish, light soups and vegetable preparations; it is also interesting with fresh soft cheeses. A moderately cool serving temperature is recommended to highlight the aromas and liveliness; suitable both as an everyday table wine and to accompany informal lunches. Subtle labeling and versatility make it a practical choice for those looking for an immediately approachable yet characterful white.

Winery history

Winery with an official founding date of 1933. Guido Cocci Grifoni rediscovered the Pecorino grape in the 1980s and the first pure Pecorino vinification dates to 1990; since then the estate has helped raise the profile of Pecorino in the Offida appellation.

Production philosophy

Family history and management; focus on caring for the land, experimentation (e.g. resistant grape varieties) and hospitality. Emphasis on valorizing native grapes (notably Pecorino) and the vine–human–landscape relationship.
