The Mantonico grape is a hidden gem of Calabria. If you enjoy wines that show character and tell a story, you'll love this selection. The Statti Mantonico delights with delicate notes of orange blossom and a texture almost reminiscent of a red wine – refreshing yet profound. In contrast, the Librandi Le Passule Val di Neto Passito demonstrates what a dessert wine should be: opulent, with aromas of ripe bananas and honey. It pairs perfectly with Gorgonzola or duck liver pâté.

Quick answers

What is Mantonico and where does the grape come from?

Mantonico is an indigenous white wine variety from Calabria, the toe of Italy's boot. The variety is closely linked to the coastal region around Crotone and was long considered an insider tip outside the region.

What does a wine made from the Mantonico grape taste like?

Mantonico shows an unusual combination: floral notes like orange blossom meet a full-bodied, almost oily texture. The acidity is present but integrated — the wine feels warmer and fuller than many other white wines from the south.

Which dishes pair with Mantonico?

Dry Mantonico wines harmonize well with grilled fish, seafood, and hearty antipasti. In the passito version — made from dried grapes — Mantonico pairs with blue cheese, foie gras, or almond pastries.

How does a dry Mantonico differ from a passito?

The dry Mantonico is a full-bodied white wine with floral and citrus aromas. A passito, on the other hand, is made from dried grapes with concentrated sugar — the result is a luscious wine with honey, dried fruits, and significantly more body.

How do I serve Mantonico correctly?

Serve dry versions at 10–12 °C — cold enough to emphasize the freshness, but not so cold that the aromatics remain closed. Passito wines can be slightly warmer, about 12–14 °C, so that the honey and fruit aromas can unfold.

Is Mantonico also suitable for beginners to Italian wines?

Anyone who has previously known Italian wines primarily from the north will find Mantonico an exciting contrast. The style is accessible — no aggressive tannins, no excessive acidity — but with enough individual character to pique curiosity.

Mantonico – white rarity from Calabria

Mantonico is one of the oldest indigenous grape varieties in Calabria and is hard to find in German-speaking countries. At Vinoscout, there is a small, hand-picked selection of this variety – including the Statti Mantonico Calabria IGT.

Origin & Character

The variety grows in the deep south of Italy, where the Calabrian climate with intense sunshine and dry summers ensures concentrated, full-bodied white wines. Mantonico brings a powerful structure that clearly distinguishes it from light summer wines: the glass reveals aromas of ripe yellow fruits such as apricot and quince, along with notes of honey, almond, and dried herbs. The acidity is moderate, the body dense, and the finish long. Traditionally, Mantonico is also vinified as a passito wine – from dried grapes, which further increases the sweetness and concentration. Vinified dry, it is a serious white wine with aging potential.

Pairs well with

Grilled fish and seafood from the Mediterranean
Aged hard cheeses like Pecorino or Parmigiano Reggiano
Strongly spiced pasta dishes with anchovies or bottarga
Roasted white meat with Mediterranean herbs
