In the nineteenth century it was cultivated in the middle Adriatic region, the region of historical transhumance shepherds, or the particular liking to the bunch of grapes by the herds. These bunch of grapes are little acinus, tasty and crispy.
In the middle of the nineteenth century Pecorino vines was cultivated in Marche, Abruzzo, Umbria, Lazio e Puglia, but the low yield of yhis variety persuade the producers to leave the vine in favor to other more prolific.
