Librandi Cirò Rosso Classico (2005)
| Winery: | Librandi |
| Region: | Italy » Calabria » Cirò |
| Type: | Table Wines |
The Librandi winery is headquartered in Cirò Marina. This small Calabrian town is on the Ionian coast, near the Punta Alice promontory, south of the Gulf of Taranto. This area is naturally suited to wine growing: the soil is predisposed for vines and its happy geographic position, close to the sea with the Sila Mountains at its back, is such that it guarantees an excellent contrast between day-and-night time temperatures. Labrandi has grown grapes for four generations and in the 50s began botling as well.

Its got some attractive flavors as well, kind of subtle ... Read More

Lovely nose full of apple fruit topped with notes of hawthorn, cream and light floral notes. Light and crisp in the mouth yet with lovely intensity of yellow apple fruit up front and flavors that allude to sweetness. This is round, yet not soft with fairly intense fruit flavors draped over a lean framework that powers through on the finish deli... Read More

A beautiful rose' that is as bold as a Tavel from Provence but not as earthy. An easy summer glass that goes down a little too easily. Read More

Pungent spicy nose with almost rubbery undertones which turn to smokiness as the wine breathes. Nice sparkling acidity and low, smooth tannins. Spice and smokiness follow through with some nice red fruit/cherry. Very pleasant, excellent value. Read More
