While this bottle of Ciro Bianco was pleasant enough, it seems clear that its peak has passed. Our fault, we held on to it for a bit too long. We are well familiar with Librandi's whites and reds, and will continue to look for their offerings (wish they would bring more reds to the USA!).

Ciao, Ciro Marina and the fine folks at Librandi! This 2013 Ciro Blanco is holding up exceptionally well, and should certainly have another year or two at peak. We think it is better served a bit colder than most whites. To an American taste, it would compare to a very bright, very slight oak California Chardonnay. In Sonoma County, this Ciro is regularly stocked at Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa. As a side request to Librandi, please see if you can get more of your outstanding reds (that we had the pleasure of trying at your winery a few years ago) here into the U.S. The only place we've had a chance to try one has been at Bottega in Yountville. Thank you very much again for an excellent Blanco!

Crisp and moderately dry, very much enjoyed it. Also brought back memories of our visit to the winery in Ciro Marina in Calabria a few years ago - and the wonderful hospitality of the fine people who met us, took us on their tour, and set us down for a tasting of a broad variety of their offerings. While we very much like their Ciro Bianco, it was their reds that really made the day. Unfortunately, it has been very difficult to locate stores that carry their reds. Continue to hope to find some in the U.S. as time goes on.

second of two bottles served at Giuliana's baptism celebration. i did not have a chance to taste. after the first few glasses were served, people were asking for more. so, i assume that the wine was still showing well. will have to replace with the current vintage for the holidays.
