The Masciarelli 2018 Abruzzo Pecorino Castello di Semivicoli is a terrific wine that shows the best side of the often-obscure and mostly difficult Pecorino grape. This little lamb is tame and graceful. The wine opens to elegant mineral tones of chalk and granite that cede to citrus fruit, preserved lemon and peach blossom. There is a slightly green or tonic tone here, with hints of garden mint and powder licorice. I highly recommend this wine for those looking for a more exciting alternative to Pinot Grigio or unoaked Chardonnay. Have it with some sweet ravioli, stuffed with sheep ricotta and dusted with cinnamon.
