This wine offers a distinctive nose with very noticeable aromas of ripe pear backed by white stone, yellow rose and almond skin. Made from the little-known Mantonico grape from the Lamezia Terme area of Calabria, it has personality and is genuine and compact without being one-dimensional.

Mantonico, a white grape native to Calabria, has an interesting nose that recalls grapefruit, peach and melon. There are no sharp points here and this easygoing wine is smooth and linear with pristine mineral notes on the close.

This is good example of the potential of Calabria’s Greco Bianco grape. The wine is crisp and fresh and bursting with enticing notes of fruit, honey and mineral. You’ll get citrus tones followed by cleansing flavors of lime and grapefruit.

Gaglioppo is naturally light and lean in color and can be consumed a few degrees cooler than your standard red wine. This wine is an excellent example of the variety with clean notes of forest berry and cola. The wine is lean but determined and refreshing.

This modern blend of Gaglioppo and Cabernet offers dense aromas of Indian spice, chocolate, chopped herbs, licorice, forest floor and blackberry jam. The mouthfeel is firm and solid and the wine delivers nearly impenetrable tannins.

Here’s a “super Calabrese” blend of Gaglioppo and Cabernet that delivers spicy notes of clove, tobacco, plum, black cherry and light licorice shadings. Because Gaglioppo is naturally light and fragrant, those green, vegetal Cabernet notes really come through.

This Calabrese wine takes a light, easy approach and offers ripe fruit, spice, tobacco and cola. Gaglioppo never has heavy concentration or color but does do a nice job of cleaning the palate and makes a good companion to pasta with smoked bacon and pecorino.

Statti’s Mantonico offers pretty floral aromas of honeysuckle and peach blossom and proves that fresh, food-friendly white wines do hail from Calabria (the toe of the boot of Italy). This native variety also offers the natural structure and heft to pair with chicken or spicy crab cakes.

Aromas recall sweet candy, bordering on cotton candy, with peppermint powder and aromatic flowers in the background. The nose is saccharine and synthetic and the wine is watery and easy in the mouth.
