Cirò | Classic
The Cirò Classico from Calabria has been one of the most famous wines of southern Italy for decades. The fruity red and rosé wines from the Gaglioppo grape and the fresh white wine from the Greco grape variety are very popular. Not only the Librandi winery, but also several smaller wineries have been producing high-quality versions of Cirò for years, including some naturally produced products. Cirò is also available as a Riserva, where longer aging in barrel and bottle further refines the product.
The most famous producer, Librandi Winery, is located in Cirò Marina, a sunny town on the Calabrian-Ionian coast, near Punta Alice, the southern bay of the Gulf of Taranto. This area, with its clayey soils and its favorable geographical position, not far from the sea, at the foot of the Sila mountains and therefore exposed to an ideal change of temperature between day and night, brings with it a natural inclination for wine growing. Librandi has been engaged in viticulture for four generations. However, bottling under its own name dates back to the fifties, thanks to Antonio Cataldo. Librandi has remained faithful to the traditional flavors of Calabria - to this day, the local grape variety Gaglioppo is preferred for the wines. - Gerardo [TS04/23]
"Without the brothers Antonio and Nicodemo Librandi, Calabrian viticulture is no longer imaginable. For 60 years now they have been coping with the local difficulties with growing success, never leaving the quality track, especially in the vineyards. Their favorite objects of research and experimentation have been the native vines, of which they have given a tangible show especially to the trio of Gaglioppo, Magliocco and Mantonico. Cirò viticulture has thus reached a new position with a promising future." - Slow Wine
