Product details
Description
Critone is a Calabria Bianco produced by Librandi in the area of Strongoli, Rocca di Neto and Casabona, expressing the encounter between international grape varieties and Mediterranean identity. Born from a blend of Chardonnay and Sauvignon cultivated on clay-loam and limestone soils, it represents a white wine with an international taste and a pronounced Calabrian soul, able to combine elegance with brightness.
The grapes are harvested between the second half of August and the beginning of September. Vinification takes place in stainless steel with soft pressing, in order to preserve fragrance and aromatic integrity. The wine matures further in stainless steel, followed by a brief period in bottle before being released, to ensure balance and freshness.
It appears a bright straw yellow colour. The nose offers elegant and intense aromas where the fruity notes of Chardonnay intertwine with the fresher and more aromatic notes of Sauvignon. On the palate it is harmonious and smooth, with pleasing freshness and a good structure that supports its persistence.
It pairs perfectly with seafood starters, fish-based first courses, shellfish, white meats, and fresh cheeses.
