Chora Bianco Mantonico 2021

For the first year this label is 100% Mantonico
Indeed i am truly loving this local variety
It grows often quite high uphill, even 5-600 metres over sea level
It results a bit aromatic, quite fullish to be a wine that is kind of considered a entry level wine
I guess it stays on the lees for a bit
However the result is delicious, quite mineral, very easy drinking and persistent
I am very curious to see how this could age for a couple of years
Btw i paid it 7.50 euros🤫🤫🤫

L'eremita Bianco 2019

I got told Mantonico( this is 100% mantonico)was the most interesting white variety in Calabria and i must agree
It has an intense nose of honey, fruit and mineral
It has its balance and a good length
Potential to age a few years easily
Good freshness
Label only produced in 2019 in perhaps a couple of thousands of bottles
I'd buy this again for sure

Hallelujah Calabria Pinot Bianco 2021

Quite high vineyard of pinot bianco to show that this variety can do well in Calabria too.
Well done Dino!!
A rich wine, i believe it has very little maceration if any or perhaps a bit of lees contact rather.
It's fleshy, queffable and quite long.
By the way it's been the third time I visited the cellar in High Country of Calabria and i just love that part of the world where people try to tame the nature, but they just can't make it.

@Delectable Wine please could you update your data with the wines from Racina Wine from Calabria, once you did detect the name on the label, but i wondered how it works..why couldn't i re-rate the same wine easily? Why doesn't the app add the newly detected labels on its own database?
Anyway..just wondering...i love this app!!

This wine is
Entropia from Racina Wine
Greco bianco 90%
Zibibbo(moscato di Alessandria)10%
9 days maceration and semi carbonic fermentation
Vineyards are in Villa S.Giovanni on a site called Costa Viola with a marvellous view on the strait that separates Sicily from Calabria
You would aspect big, warm, alcoholic wines, but nothing could be farther from the truth
All the wines made from these guys have as primary requisite the drinkability, the fun, the easy nature
Entropia is no exception
Elegant and clean nose for this orange wine
The zibibbo gives extra layers of scents
It's long and...not enough...you need a second bottle and that is why some labels are bottled in 1l formats
12%, it goes without saying the production is ridiculous, i think 800 btls it says on the tiny back label
..not sure about the vintage..there must be a legal reason for not being on it, but i reckon L21 on it means 2021
I will try to contact them for more details

Ciavola Nera

Dissidente Vino Bianco 2018

Unfiltered, not clarified, spontaneous fermentation
Golden colour
Quite oxidative nose
Almondy, the fruit is kind of baked, perhaps an apple tart, a bit of spices and honeyed
It's a bit warm with its 14.5%
50/50 mantonico and malvasia
It could improve, but i am not convinced
It feels like i wanna be, but i am not
