It is called Zaleuco and is a very interesting wine produced in the middle Savuto Valley in Calabria. A single-varietal white, it is made from 100 percent Mantonico grapes, an indigenous variety of the region. Harvested by hand in late October, careful selection is made of the best grapes, which are then crushed and destemmed, before undergoing static decantation at a low temperature. Slow vinification at a controlled temperature, at the end of fermentation, the wine remains in tanks with its yeasts for about three months. The result is a beautiful wine characterized by an intense color with golden hues and beautiful density. On the nose, the bouquet opens with hints of citrus, exotic fruit, white flowers and mineral notes. In the mouth, on the other hand, it is structured and rich, with remarkable smoothness and discreet freshness. The finish is persistent and aromatic, with a pleasant savory sensation. Thanks to its fine structure and balanced acidity, Zaleuco pairs well with grilled meats and more elaborate fish preparations. However, it is also excellent with medium-aged cheeses and white meats.
