The story
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.
