Grown primarily in Marche and Abruzzo, it probably owes its name to the fact that, due to its early ripening, it was the most loved grape by sheep during their transhumance period, around mid-September.

The low quantitative yield was about to decree its extinction until it was rediscovered in the '90s, when it became clear that it was precisely this characteristic that made it an exceptional vine. The result was the birth, shortly thereafter, of the denominations IGT Pecorino Terre di Chieti and DOC Offida Pecorino.

The wine from this grape is generally characterized by a straw yellow color, with floral and white-fleshed fruit aromas on the nose. It has good structure and persistence, so much so that it is also referred to as a "red dressed in white", and it pairs well with structured dishes such as baked fish, white meats, and medium-aged cheeses.
