Are such sheep to be found in Rome? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

merino

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'are' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'sheep to be found in rome?' is the wordplay.
'in rome' anagrams to 'MERINO'.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.

'such' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for merino that I've seen before include "Fine soft woolen yarn" , "Sheep with fine soft wool" , "Sheep bred for its long, fine wool" , "Fine-wool sheep" , "The sheep provides fine wool" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
