Italian term or phrase: (pecora) all'acqua pazza

I barely know what "acqua pazza" is like. The trouble is that I've never heard of "pecora all'acqua pazza" which seems to be a local specialty in the Gargano area (Apulia).

I've read somewhere that the ingredients of acqua pazza are "sea water, wine, olive oil and tomatoes" but in this case I hardly expect that sea water might be a good match with ewe's meat.

The question is open to all gourmet lovers and peers who have time to spare for such trifles...
