Story: Librandi | Calabria



A winery in the heart of Calabria
The Librandi winery is located in the picturesque Calabrian countryside, close to the Gulf of Taranto and the coast of Punta Alice. Founded by Antonio Librandi, a success story began four generations ago that revolutionized viticulture in the region. With modern irrigation systems and a clear focus on quality, Antonio Librandi created the basis for today's top winery.

Ideal climate and unique vineyards
The winery's 230 hectares of vineyards benefit from an exceptional microclimate. The location between the Mediterranean Sea and the Silas Mountains ensures strong temperature fluctuations that promote the growth of the vines. In addition to autochthonous grape varieties such as Gaglioppo, Magliocco, Mantonico and Greco Bianco, international grapes such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc also thrive. This diversity enables the production of wines that are known for their freshness, fruitiness and excellent value for money.

Innovation and tradition in harmony
The Librandi family combines tradition with modernity. By introducing new grape varieties, renovating the cellars and collaborating with renowned oenologists such as Donato Lanati and Severino Garofano, the winery has made a name for itself. An outstanding example of this innovative spirit is the Critone, a fresh white wine made from Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Equally impressive is the elegant Cirò Rosso, which is made from the local Gaglioppo grape and is already considered one of the best wines in southern Italy.

Top wines from Calabria
Particularly noteworthy is the Gravello, a complex and elegant wine that harmoniously combines Gaglioppo and Cabernet Sauvignon. Maturation in barrique barrels underlines its complexity. With the construction of a new barrel cellar, the winery has created the basis for further exceptional wines, including the dessert wine Le Pasulle made from the rare Mantonico grape. Despite these innovations, Librandi remains true to its classics such as Cirò, which impress with their modern style and fair prices.

International recognition and family history
Around half of the production is exported to countries such as the USA, Germany, Japan and Switzerland, while the rest is sold in Italy. This success is inextricably linked to the brothers Antonio and Nicodemo Librandi, who fundamentally modernized the winery in the 1980s. Antonio Librandi, who died in 2012, left behind a lasting legacy as an architect, winemaker and visionary.

Calabria: History, culture and viticulture
Calabria, a region with Greek roots, is a melting pot of history, culture and tradition. This rich heritage is reflected in Librandi's wines, which embody the history and passion of the region. The winery remains a beacon of Calabrian viticulture and shows how tradition and innovation can blend harmoniously. - Gerardo [TS01/25]
