Zaleuco is Le Moire's white from Mantonico, a native Calabrian grape with high acidity and real structure. The 2022 was left on its skins for extra depth. The 2024 is a crisp, dry white. Both come from the Savuto valley and can age well.

The disciplinare, the place, the label
01
DOC, DOCG, IGT: what the badges mean
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Calabria is in the IGT tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
