Mantonico is a typical grape of Calabria already known in the eighth century B.C., and currently grows in the areas of Bianco and Casignana and along the Ionian coast. The name is believed to derive from the Greek "matis-eos," meaning prophet, because the wine was apparently used by sorcerers and offered to those who predicted the future.
