    Cantina Novelli 2008 BiancoCube Umbria ($12). Here’s a fun, tasty white from a lesser-known Italian region. A blend of Trebbiano, Spoletino, Grechetto and Pecorino (not only a cheese, apparently), the wine offers light-ish, smooth stonefruit — nectarine, apricot — and a touch of sweet citrus. Finishes clean and refreshing. Ready to drink now. Locate this wine online or in your area. (2010-12-16)

    Rocca delle Macie 2002 Orvieto Classico ($9). Tart citrus fruit and mineral notes are fresh and refreshing. Nicely integrated finish. Ready to drink now. (Robyn’s Picks, 12/03)
