There ares some very interesting white wines coming out of Italy these days, made from native grapes that a lot of us haven’t heard of or tasted before or acquainted with. Pecorino, Verdicchio, Falanghina, Grillo, Trebbiano and Catarratto are not exactly household names or the rather more famous international grapes. Thought we’d highlight some for you – both interesting and worthy of consideration and wonderful on the dining table. If you’re in an adventurous mode, look no further.
