Calabria At a Glance
Region NameCalabria
Calabria is a non-industrial rural mountainous region. Its economy is dependent on cereals, citrus, and particularly olives, with a per-capita income less than half the national average. Called Enotria by the Greeks in pre-Roma times for its illustrious vinous past, today viticulture and winemaking are far from the vital industries they once were and account for a tiny proportion of land use.

Score: 89Vintage 2021Vinous Mediahe 2021 Bianco Lamezia, an equal parts blend of Greco and Malvasia, opens with a peppery and dusty blend of ripe orchard fruits. It's soft and round with a buzz of citrus-infused acidity that adds traction. Crisp apple and apricot tones cascade throughout. It finishes long, potent and remarkably fresh as candied lime hints fade.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review

Score: 88Vintage 2020Vinous MediaSweet pear, dusty florals and hints of incense lift up from the 2020 Bianco. It’s soft upon entry, then gains a more tactile feel as a mix of minerals and candied lime washes across the palate. This tapers off, buzzing with residual acids, to a hint of green tropical citrus. The Lamezia is an equal-parts blend of Greco and Mantonico.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
