Colle Vecchio is one of the most representative labels of Tenuta Cocci Grifoni.
It is made from purely vinified Pecorino grapes, a native variety rediscovered at the beginning of the 80's.
The wine has been prized with "5 grappoli" by the AIS Guide "Duemilavini".
The antique grape variety of Pecorino was slowly abandoned over time, due to its reduced productivity.
Guido Cocci Grifoni brought it back to life, revealing to enthusiasts and the public the history of this excellence of authentic vines, which has progressively spread across the land thanks to its peculiar features.
Colle Vecchio is straw yellow in colour with greenish reflections; its aroma is spicy and rich in alcohol, acacia blossom and jasmine.
