ORIGIN OF THE GRAPE

The origin of this grape is uncertain, its name is probably coming from pecora, which means sheep. The legend says that the sheeps were attracted from this grape. It was widely spread all around the region before the phylloxera, then gradually abandoned to be replaced from more productive varieties as Trebbiano.
