Our wine director Davide has some great recommendations for you. Like this beautiful Calabrian white wine from female winemaker Antonella Lombardo. Pairs well with our branzino and linguine al limone.

‘AUTORITRATTO’ MANTONICO CALABRIA IGT
‘Autoritratto’ means ‘self-portrait.’ Mantonico is a rare but very promising variety indigenous to Calabria. Mantonico berries have thick skins, so the bunches are only given an hour of skin contact before pressing, to extract aromatic character from the skins.
Extremely distinctive white wine. Luminous pale yellow; smells and tastes like lemon-peel and musk; acidity is fresh but the texture is thicker than the Greco Bianco, presumably due to maceration with the skins. Very long finish. One of the most striking white wines we import. I wouldn’t be surprised if this ages well but it’s too soon to tell. - @olivermccrumwinesandspirits
