Librandi celebrates the Calabrian coast with six new exclusive limited edition designs for its iconic white.
The Librandi winery signs a special tribute to its land: Critone Summer Edition is a limited edition of six new exclusive designs of the Critone label, the iconic white wine from the Calabrian winery that has always told the story of the sea and the light of the South.
“This summer we wanted to tell the story of Calabria in our own way. We do it with Critone , our white wine that has always spoken of the sea and the light of our land, in a special guise: six labels dedicated to six symbolic places on our coasts,” announced the Librandi family.
A visual and sensorial journey that begins at Punta Alice , the beating heart of Cirò Marina, where the company is based: a sun-kissed promontory that looks out over the Ionian horizon, a symbol of the original bond between Librandi wine and its territory. We continue south with the majestic Le Castella , an Aragonese fortress suspended between sky and sea, an undisputed icon of the Calabrian coast. A little further on, the scenery changes but remains equally evocative: Pietragrande , the imposing rock that emerges from the turquoise waters is honored in a label with a decisive and Mediterranean feel.
Having ideally crossed the isthmus, the story moves to the Tyrrhenian Sea , where the coasts become jagged and vertical. Dominating the scene is the timeless charm of Tropea , with its cliff overlooking the sea and the unmistakable profile of the Sanctuary of Santa Maria dell’Isola. Then Chianalea di Scilla , the fishing village that seems to emerge directly from the sea, made up of alleys, moored boats and houses nestled on the rocks. Finally, the collection ends with the most intimate of the six destinations: Arcomagno , a bay hidden among the rocks near San Nicola Arcella, where the natural stone arch frames one of the most magical places in the region.
With Critone Summer Edition , Librandi celebrates the Calabria he has always known and wants to continue to tell: a true, sunny, welcoming beauty, to be experienced barefoot and with a gaze turned towards the sea. The six graphics, illustrated with an essential but evocative style, combine aesthetics and storytelling with images with a strong visual impact, designed to capture the eye and memory, transforming each bottle into an author’s postcard.
The collection will be available from June 2025, exclusively in a selection of Calabrian beaches and seaside resorts . With this project, Librandi renews its commitment to promoting the Calabrian territory through wine, art and visual storytelling.
