Truentum, Terre d’Abruzzo IGT (Abruzzo, Italy) Pecorino “Calafiori” 2025 ($20)

Consumers would be well advised to learn about Pecorino, a punchy Italian white wine made from the grape of the same name. Though not related to the cheese, which, after all, just indicates that it’s made from sheep’s milk, Tventvm’s Pecorino has a pleasingly spicy and cutting edginess that balances its mid-weight character. Hefty, but not heavy, and weighing in at only 13 percent stated alcohol, it would be a fine choice to cut this summer’s heat and humidity.
