About This Wine
Like the sheep cheese of the same name, Pecorino is known as the 'grape of the sheep' due to the vine's traditional plantings in sheep grazing areas. Thought to be extinct in the middle of the last century, the variety has seen a huge revival since the 1980s.
Pretty aromas of honeysuckle, citrus, and little bit of a herbal note. The medium-bodied wine tastes fresh with crisp acidity and a lively mouthfeel. It has similar flavours to the nose although there is also a lovely mineral overlay.
Delicately delicious, this is sheepishly good…
About Umani Ronchi
Umani Ronchi is owned by the Bianchi-Bernetti family, who since 1957 have been tending their vines across the Abruzzo and Marche.
They farm their vineyards organically, for technical rather than ideological reasons, and sustainability is at their core: lighter glass bottles with a lower impact in terms of CO2 emissions, and synthetic cane sugar corks that are 100% recyclable.

From The Producer
After a light pressing, the prime must is rapidly cooled and then goes through static decantation. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 16-18°C for about 10/15 days. The wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation. The wine rests in stainless steel tanks for about 4 months, in contact with its own yeasts.

Critic Reviews
"Aromas of juniper berries, sliced apples, lemon zest, pineapple and crushed almonds. It’s medium-bodied with bright acidity. Delicious fruit concentration with a focused, mineral finish." James Suckling (James Suckling)

Do I have to order in dozens? No, please mix it up! You can order wines in any quantity and variation you like. You can order 1 bottle or 50. We challenge you to make the ultimate mixed pack of wine!
Are there volume discounts? No, our pricing is designed to be the best in market already - no marking up and then discounting down! For very large orders (weddings, etc) we are open to negotiating though. Just give us a call.
Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price. If you see a price lower somewhere else let us know and we'll consider matching it. We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
Can I special order a wine you do not sell? If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
