Vino Pecorino Arquata is the project through which the Associazione culturale Alto Tronto, in the hamlet of Borgo in Arquata del Tronto, works to revive mountain viticulture and the wine that for centuries has been called Pecorino here. The association, devoted to the typical products of the upper Tronto valley, runs a presidium of native grape varieties: Pecorino d'Arquata, Malvasia, Montonico, Zibibbo arquatano and Moscatello.

Vino Pecorino Arquata: location
The association is based in the hamlet of Borgo, along the stretch of the Tronto valley followed by the Via Salaria. Surpicano is the Latin name of Arquata del Tronto and also the name of one of the presidium's wines. Under this name, in 2026, the Eupizi family, who run the project, revived the family's historic winery, Cantina Surpicano.
Vino Pecorino Arquata: what it offers
Arquata's Pecorino began as a blend of white and red grapes; the main variety has a name of its own, Verdicchio Bastardo Bianco. The vines are grown ungrafted (a piede franco), without American rootstock, and some are a hundred years old. After the 2016 earthquake several small growers with historic vineyards donated their grapes to the project. Since the end of 2019 the first wines of the presidium, Surpicanum and Il Torrione, have been available, including whites, reds and semi-sparkling wines.
Things to see near Vino Pecorino Arquata
In the same hamlet of Borgo stands the Chiesa di San Francesco, part of a Franciscan convent complex founded in the second half of the 13th century along the Salaria. Badly damaged by the earthquake and by the snowfalls of January 2017, which brought down the roof and the wooden ceiling, it received approval for its restoration project in October 2026. It holds frescoes, an altar with a painting attributed to the school of Cola dell'Amatrice, and a copy of the Holy Shroud.
