On our ancient highways

There was a time, in Abruzzo, when the sheep tracks represented the most important communication routes for the local economy. Wide lanes of grassy or stony ground, trampled by the flocks in their perennial movement, outlined the millenary paths of transhumance. They plowed through the fields, crossed the villages, grazed the vineyards, so much so that from this proximity between sheep and grapes, one of the most typical vines of Abruzzo took its name: Pecorino.
