2011 Castronovo Vineyards Pecorino

The Pecorino grape is unique to the Abruzzo region of Italy, where the Castronovo vineyard is located. Pecorino -- not to be confused with the Italian cheese of the same name -- is a popular varietal in Italy but one that is not as common in the U.S. This wine is light and refreshing with a very unique flavor profile, perfect for a hot summer day on the boat or by the pool.
