Nello Cucina's Wine of the Month – Ciro Bianco, Librandi, 2010

Ciro Bianco, Librandi, 2010


Il Vino del Mese (Wine of the Month) for June is Bianco, Librandi, 2010. You will find Librandi in the small town of Ciro¢ Marnia, located in the Calabria region of Italy. This white varietal consists of 100% Greco Bianco, introduced to the area by the ancient Greeks.

Librandi’s Ciro¢ Bianco is brilliant lemon-green in color, ripe aromas of peach, lemon & orange citrus on the palate. Light to medium bodied with hints of almonds on the finish.
Elegant & versatile with crisp minerality proceeded by fresh fruit flavors makes Ciro Bianco a perfect summer wine. Pairs nicely with grilled vedgetables, swordfish, tuna & salmon.
