Statti 2007 Gaglioppo (Calabria)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Gaglioppo is naturally light and lean in color and can be consumed a few degrees cooler than your standard red wine. This wine is an excellent example of the variety with clean notes of forest berry and cola. The wine is lean but determined and refreshing.

Statti 2005 Arvino Red (Calabria)
- $21
Here’s a “super Calabrese” blend of Gaglioppo and Cabernet that delivers spicy notes of clove, tobacco, plum, black cherry and light licorice shadings. Because Gaglioppo is naturally light and fragrant, those green, vegetal Cabernet notes really come through.

Statti 2006 Gaglioppo (Calabria)
- $18
This Calabrese wine takes a light, easy approach and offers ripe fruit, spice, tobacco and cola. Gaglioppo never has heavy concentration or color but does do a nice job of cleaning the palate and makes a good companion to pasta with smoked bacon and pecorino.

Statti 2006 Mantonico (Calabria)
This wine offers a distinctive nose with very noticeable aromas of ripe pear backed by white stone, yellow rose and almond skin. Made from the little-known Mantonico grape from the Lamezia Terme area of Calabria, it has personality and is genuine and compact without being one-dimensional.

Statti’s Mantonico offers pretty floral aromas of honeysuckle and peach blossom and proves that fresh, food-friendly white wines do hail from Calabria (the toe of the boot of Italy). This native variety also offers the natural structure and heft to pair with chicken or spicy crab cakes.
