Pecorino Wine

Pecorino, the white wine, not the cheese, is a bit of an unknown gem, grown in various parts of Italy. The one I chose (9 pounds Mark and  Spencer) made by Umani Ronchi in the splendid Abruzzo region of Italy, a land of mountains, wild boar, the scent of rosemary and thyme in the air and not much else I believe-was chosen over a saint Veran from southern Burgundy (also 9 pounds) to match our smoked haddock and cod fishcakes and spinach and ricotta ravioli. Lots of lovely pear and apple on the nose, nice minerality, this is a vibrant, aromatic and very food friendly wine. Molto molto bene!!!!
