Librandi offers white, rosé and red entry-level wines that offer terrific value and easy-drinking styles. The white is the 2017 Cirò Bianco, made with Calabria's versatile Greco Bianco grape. You get fresh, zesty aromas of citrus and white melon over a lean, crisp texture. Bottle production is big at 400,000 units produced.

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.

The Greco Bianco grape (a native variety of Calabria in southern Italy) offers compelling aromas of pear, Golden Delicious apple and stone fruit. Librandi does a great job with this wine that shows density and creamy spice on the close. Pair it with white meat or fish.——M.L.(6/1/2011)—— 87
