100% Mantonico Bianco (native Calabrian variety, likely a parent of the red Gaglioppo). "Chora Bianco" comes from L'Acino's younger vines on sandy soils at the foot of Monte Pollino in northern Calabria near the Basilicata border. The vines are own-rooted from old-vine massale cuttings. The farming is certified-organic and harvest is manual. The bunches are direct-pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts and no sulfur or temperature control. The wine is tank-aged on its fine lees for a year and bottled without fining or filtration. Zero sulfur. "Chora" is Greek for the Italian campagna or "countryside" (vignaiolo Dino Briglio is a historian by career and passion).
