Pecorino is an Italian variety associated with Abruzzo and the Marche. It has no bearing acreage reported to CDFA in California; the atlas first records it in district data in 2016, and it has since appeared across 2 crush districts over 10 crop years. It is a crisp, aromatic white grape. In California it remains at the earliest, experimental stage, without an established acreage base.

What is published
Counts describe what this atlas holds for Pecorino, not what California grows. A zero is a published answer: it means the source names the grape and reports nothing under it, or does not name it at all.
