The Offida lacemakers weave threads with rapid, precise movements, the last remaining witnesses of an ancient and precious art whose origins are lost in memory and the passing of time... thus the origins of Pecorino, a noble Italian grape, austere and powerful, relegated for decades to the barren, steep mountain slopes of the Piceno Apennines. Rediscovered today by the passion of a few winemakers, this rare and precious grape, capable, even over the years, of unleashing an intense personality, evoking ethereal and persistent sensations. Its personality and power are enhanced by fermentation in noble woods, an example of historical memory and new heroic wisdom.
