Critone

IGT Calabria

A white wine with a great personality and a distinct freshness, the product of international grapes grown in Calabria: blend of Chardonnay (90%) and Sauvignon Blanc (10%).

 

These two grape varieties are joined to give birth to a fresh and savory wine, deep and lingering at the same time: our idea of an ​​international white.

Grapes Chardonnay 90 % Read more

White grape variety par excellence, it can be cultivated in a very different range of areas in terms of soil and climate. Calabria is an ideal setting for Chardonnay. Its wines show a nice level of acidity, with hints of tropical fruit and mulberry. Great richness of flavour, depth and length.

Grapes Sauvignon Blanc 10 % Read more

Aromatic variety grown in many parts of the world. It delivers pleasantly fresh wines, with peculiar hints, among others, of nettle and tomato leaves as well as the now famous cat-pee aroma.
