Best White Wines

Pecorino
Not only is the name of this Italian grape from Abruzzo and the Marche
easy to pronounce, pecorino is also one of the countrys wine success
stories of the 21st century. It was once abandoned in favor of varieties
that produce bigger grape yields, but two winemakers brought it back, and
now everyone wants to plant it. The wine most resembles a crisp, fruity
sauvignon blanc.
One to try: 2016 Tiberio Pecorino ($20)
Bright and juicy, this complex white has lush flavors of lemongrass and
ripe fresh fruit, plus an attractive saltiness and rich round texture.

Nascetta
A rare Piedmontese white with complexity and the structure to age,
nascetta originated in the town of Novello. Ignored for years, its now
championed by a passionate group of top producers, such as Barolo
maestro Elvio Cogno. Eric Guido, wine director for Morrells, says its in a
prime position to gain traction quickly.
One to try: 2015 Elvio Cogno Anas-Cetta ($35)
A big, intense, golden white, it has aromas of white flowers and a very
elegant, savory mouthwatering taste and a creamy, succulent texture.
