Pecorino is a grape variety that is deeply rooted in Italy's central wine regions, known for its hardiness and ability to thrive at altitude, withstanding cool temperatures. The name "Pecorino" is derived from the Italian word "pecora," meaning sheep, as the grape’s origins are closely linked to the ancient practice of grazing sheep in these regions. The name reflects not only the history of the grape but also its connection to the pastoral landscapes where it was traditionally grown.

Archivio’s Pecorino offers a compelling expression of this resilient variety. The grapes undergo an initial gentle pressing with four hours of skin contact, followed by a further soft press, before being left to ferment with natural yeasts. Resting on the lees helps to develop complexity, texture, and body. The result is a wine with structure, exotic fruit notes of ripe peach, citrus zest, and golden apple, balanced by a fresh, mineral backbone. Hints of wild herbs and a touch of almond add further depth, leading to a long, mouthwatering finish.

This Pecorino is both textural and crisp, offering the perfect balance between freshness and complexity. It pairs beautifully with seafood, creamy risottos, and grilled vegetables, showing why this ancient grape is once again gaining popularity among wine enthusiasts.

Some information about your order

Please let us know if you would like a specific note included with your order. We tend to wrap all bottles in paper and reuse wine cases for shipping to keep our carbon footprint low.
Shipping should be automatically adjusted depending on your postcode. Free delivery covers all Liverpool postcodes, and the following Cheshire postcodes: CH41-49, CH60-63. Find out more on our Deliveries page.
We will look to have your delivery with you within 3 working days of receiving the order but please ask if you need it by a certain date and we'll do our best.
We will endeavour to deliver vintages as advertised but they often change faster than we can update (we're pretty slow). So, again, it may be wise to confirm before ordering if you're in need of something particular. Please note: Some bottle images may not show the current vintage.
Surcharges often apply to deliveries outside mainland England so wise to confirm before you order. Indeed, Northern Ireland is beyond us unless shipping charges agreed beforehand.
If something is wrong with your order or it's not what you expected, please get in touch and we'll sort it out. We'll look to rectify any mistakes where possible.
