Agriverde, Terre di Chieti IGP (Abruzzo, Italy) Pecorino “Riseis” 2018

($11):  Pecorino, the grape and the wine made from it, is a name to remember.  Its home is in the middle of the east coast of Italy in the regions of Le Marche and Abruzzo.  As with all wine, there is a range of style of Pecorino from zippy and cutting to softer and creamier.  This one is definitely on the zippy and cutting side of the spectrum, with a hint of mouth-watering salinity in the finish, which makes it perfect for pasta with clams or mussels.  Add Pecorino to your list of racy whites to try.
