Calabria Bianco IGT - Efeso - Librandi 2024

The Calabria Bianco IGT - Efeso from the renowned Librandi winery is a refined example of the company's ability to enhance native varietals in a modern key. Originating from the Calabria region, this white wine is mainly made with Mantonico grapes, an ancient variety that has been rediscovered and valued thanks to the dedication of passionate winemakers.

The winemaking of Efeso involves fermentation in stainless steel to preserve and enhance the natural characteristics of the grape. The wine's color is a delicate straw yellow, with hints of gold. On the nose, Efeso offers an intriguing bouquet with notes of white flowers, white-fleshed fruit such as peach, and subtle hints of aromatic herbs, providing an unmistakable freshness.

On the palate, the wine expresses itself with balance and a surprisingly rich structure for a white, with good acidity that ensures freshness and makes it suitable for accompanying a variety of dishes. The aftertaste is persistent, with a slight minerality reminiscent of its origins.

Ideal as an aperitif, the Calabria Bianco IGT - Efeso pairs beautifully with light appetizers, fish or seafood dishes, and can pleasantly surprise when paired with fresh or goat cheeses. A bottle of Efeso is perfect for those looking to discover the nuances of a southern Italian white wine that combines tradition and innovation while respecting the terroir.
