Librandi Antonio e Nicodemo S.p.A. S.S. 106 – C.da S. Gennaro 88811 Cirò Marina (KR)
It is difficult to think of a red wine made from pure Gaglioppo grapes and not fly with the imagination to the beautiful vineyards of Librandi. One of the wineries that have been able to bring the greatest prestige to the region of Calabria and its good local grape varieties. This Segno, Cirò Rosso DOC, certainly does not disappoint expectations. Typical, original and immediate at the same time. Harvested between the end of September and the beginning of October, this red wine of the area is made by a careful vinification in temperature-controlled steel tanks, with soft pressing of the grapes and short maceration. At the end of processing and after racking, the wine is then kept in steel tanks for the subsequent ageing phase. After bottling, and before release, the wine then rests for a few months in the cellar for further ageing. The result is a pleasant and intense red, like the aromas of the Mediterranean maquis. Excellent with grilled meats and medium-aged cheeses, this red wine 'made in Calabria' should not remain in the cellar too long. It is particularly appreciated in the first three years after release.
6 estates, 232 hectares of vineyards, 80 hectares of olive groves. A single objective: quality. All this is Librandi, one of the wineries that best represents our South in the world. It is no coincidence that the Librandi proudly call themselves 'Winemakers of Calabria'. The company is based in Cirò Marina, a town overlooking the Ionian Sea, with its hilly and flat vineyards set in the Mediterranean maquis. Since its origins, Librandi has been a totally family-run business. Bound to tradition, they have never lost sight of innovation, research and the rediscovery of the riches of Calabria.

From Gaglioppo and Greco, in particular, also thanks to the collaboration with top experts in the viticulture and oenology sector. And the great thing is that, even more than half a century later, you never stop learning. For this reason, they are certain at Librandi, some of the most beautiful pages of Calabrian oenology have yet to be written.
