Wine Description

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.

Acclaim
“A pure expression of Greco Bianco, the 2014 Cirò Bianco opens to a pale straw color and shows fragrant tones of cut grass, lime, wild sage and citrus. The bouquet is easy, straightforward and delivers instant appeal. The wine's floral signature also leaves a lasting impression. In the mouth, the wine offers refreshing crispness and simple lines with a very distant touch of lemony sweetness. Drink this wine within the next 12 months.”
— Wine Advocate, Dec 2015
“Librandi’s Cirò Bianco ’14 is really delicious. It fully confirms the thesis that a great winery can be judged also by the care it takes in the production of its so-called base wines. Elegant on the nose, it presents notes of yellow melon, pear, floral tones and a light background of aromatic herbs. The palate is savory and dynamic, enlivened by a fresh, playful citrusy note that increases the pleasure of each sip.”
— Gambero Rosso, Feb 2016
