Katia Gentile Merino comes all the way from the south of Italy, a high-quality merino wool with centuries of history. It goes back to the 15th century, when local sheep were crossed with Merino breed Spanish rams by the Spanish kings in the Papal States. Since then, careful breeding over the years by stockbreeders in Puglia and Abruzzo has resulted in the current breed called Merino Gentile di Puglia.
