If you want to try a new white wine from Italy, Pecorino is
a great choice!
Pecorino is an Italian white grape that was thought to be
extinct until the 1980's when some of its vines were rediscovered! It's
primarily grown in the Abruzzo and Marches regions of Italy and reportedly
hardly ever leaves the country because it's not considered as marketable, which
is a total crime if you ask me.
The Cantine Galasso Corno Grande Pecorino is refreshing and
dry, but not too dry. A floral nose, with some minerality and notes of citrus
fruits and jasmine.
This wine pairs well with oysters, other seafood and salami,
and the cheese which has the same name!
It retails for under $10 a bottle, which is a total steal. I
tried this wine at the Cosmos Club in Washington. Cheers!
