This Critone from Librandi is an exciting wine, made from Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, which gives it a great deal of ripeness. It's a wine perfectly balanced, with a richness and fruity balance.

Quality wines from Librandi

The Librandi family has been working the vineyards in the Calabrian village of Ciro Mirana for four generations. In the early 1950s, Antonio Librandi began bottling wines independently here. He aimed to establish a modern company, with the goal of raising awareness of the wines of the Ciro region. Brothers Antonio and Nicodemo Librandi were then tasked with significantly modernizing the company. They certainly did so over time, while maintaining the balance between tradition and innovation. Today, the Librandi name is synonymous with quality wines that are highly regarded both nationally and internationally.

A beautiful Chardonnay from Critone

To produce a good and beautiful Chardonnay in the far south of Italy, you need extensive knowledge of the terroir, the correct harvest time, and winemaking. Although Chardonnay is a highly adaptable grape, it's not always easy. The Librandi family, based in this region, knows better than anyone how to approach this. And that's essential for producing this wine. The Cirtone Bianco is made up of ninety percent Chardonnay grapes and is supplemented with ten percent Sauvignon Blanc. The wine owes its name to the main vineyard where the grapes originate: Critone. The Chardonnay grapes develop a pleasant acidity because they are planted in calcareous clay soil. The grapes are also harvested early, in late August or early September. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are quickly pressed and fermented in stainless steel. The ten percent Sauvignon Blanc gives the wine some extra freshness and a lovely fragrant, grapey character.
