2009 Talamonti Pecorino "Trabocchetto", d'Abruzzo $19.99

This is one of those grape varietals that was pretty much lost for years until people started bringing it back. This is a white wine that I would love to pull out for people when they think that the only good white wine to come out of Abruzzo is Trebbiano. Pretty clear in color with a nice light hay hue. When it comes to the nose though things are going on! The nose has a citrus style going on with notes of light-lychee, apricots and very light hints of mint. Pretty full-bodied yet very smooth on the finish . Being that there was only 500 cases for the world to share...I'll be picking up a few for spring time use.
