L'Acino Calabria Chora Bianco 2021
Mantonico is a white variety from the ancient and lesser-known region of Calabria where this unusual grape displays enough colour and tannin to convince our local MW (Master of Wine) that it was an “orange” or skin-contact wine. But it isn’t, it has the same tannins without any time macerating on its skins. Vinified in stainless steel, this is one of the most exciting whites we’ve discovered in years.
