LIBRANDI | Calabria

Table 26

Cirò Bianco DOC This wine is made from 100% Greco Bianco, a white variety brought to Calabria by the ancient Greeks. After a soft pressing, the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve its freshness. Refined briefly in tanks and bottle for a few months for extra finesse, Cirò Bianco is ready to be enjoyed upon release.

VINTAGE: ______

“Critone” Val di Neto IGT Based on a majority of Chardonnay with a small addition of Sauvignon Blanc, Critone is a perfect example of Librandi’s belief that the future of Calabrian enology lies in the delicate balance between tradition and innovation. International varieties like thesewere originally planted in the 1980s to offer something different to local markets, but as the results have been consistently impressive, Critone has gained importance in the diverse portfolio of Librandi wines. Critone takes its name from the favorite pupil of the great philosopher, Socrates, and represents Librandi’s pursuit of the knowledge to consistently produce better wines.

VINTAGE: ______

Cirò Rosato DOC The vineyards that dot the countryside of the small town of Cirò Marina overlook the Ionian Sea and benefit from cool ocean breezes, thus producing grapes with spicy and floral aromas. Cirò Rosato is made from 100% Gaglioppo, Calabria’s signature variety, selectively harvested in late September into early October.
