You may be wondering, “white from Abruzzo?” when you see the header for this review, but once you taste this wine, you will answer your own question with an emphatic “Yes!” I will admit to tasting only a handful of Abruzzo whites, and I will admit that this is my first go at a wine with Cococciola in the mix. It is here at a high enough percentage to add some herbal zing to the aroma profile with the floral, citrus, apple and bright stone minerality of the other components. It’s a great solo refresher, or you can serve it with fish or small bites of all kinds. Nice price for the quality level! Contains 50% Trebbiano Abruzzese, 30% Pecorino and 20% Cococciola.
