Librandi | Kalabrien

Intense, clear colour and wonderfully fresh with a fragrance of berries and fruits. The taste is as intense and fresh as its fragrance - a wonderfully uncomplicated Rosato with character and claim! SUPERIORE.DE

"Fresh strawberry fruit and tropical white fruit hints. Finely textured strawberry fruit finish." Jancis Robinson

Pure white wine from the autochthonous vine Greco. Fresh, delicately aromatic scent and very pleasant, pleasing taste, floral and fruity. SUPERIORE.DE

Dense purple garnet, intense fruity aroma reminiscent of red forest berries. Powerful and supple on the palate, seductive berry aroma, long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

The white wine classic Critone from predominantly Chardonnay offers clear aromas of yellow fruits and fresh apple scent. The elegant taste has a beautiful structure and remains fruity fresh until the remarkable finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Straw yellow. Bread crust, apple and melon on the nose and with hints of softly perfumed, white fruit. White-fruit palate with notes of lemon and a spritzy finish. Refreshing." Jancis Robinson

Ruby red interspersed with garnet splinters, the bouquet intense and concentrated. The taste shows the pleasantly powerful extract with beautifully balanced wood tones. An excellent vinified Cirò Classico Riserva, as the true friend of southern Italian wines loves it. SUPERIORE.DE

"Lustrous mid ruby. Pretty nose of cherry and ripe raspberry fruit and with proper depth. Great Gaglioppo expression with lots of fruit and powdery, long tannins and hints of liquorice. Lightness of touch on the finish and with spicy tannins." Jancis Robinson

For lovers of autochthonous wines: notes of mulberry and pepper on the nose, compact, balanced on the palate, well balanced acidity and tannin, long with aromas of ripe raspberries and honey. A seductively elegant wine from the Magliocco grape. SUPERIORE.DE

"This wine from Librandi is one of the bottles that put Calabria on the world wine map. A pure expression of the Magliocco grape, the 2016 Magno Megonio shows the dark color intensity and rich textural fiber that is characteristic of this indigenous grape. The wine ages in barrique for 12 months. This adds a frame of spice and cinnamon that surrounds a core of bold blackberry fruit." Robert Parker

Concentrated and excellently structured, Gravello 2016 demonstrates true greatness with its complexity. In the nose ripe, red fruits and spicy notes, combined with balsamic tones. Dense, full of substance and tannin on the palate with an extremely elegant final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Lustrous mid ruby. Pretty nose of oak, marasca cherry and cassis and with a peppery edge. Hints of damson. Quite concentrated and deep with dry oak notes and lots of powdery tannins that are a little drying right now. Creamy notes and quite gripping on the finish, but this needs at least another year or so to come round." Jancis Robinson

"This is the top-shelf red blend from Calabria's Librandi. The 2016 Gravello is a blend of 60% Gaglioppo and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in barrique for 12 months. Since the last time I tasted this wine (a few years back), I found this vintage to be nicely focused and sharp with dark fruit intensity. This is a mid- to full-bodied red wine with firm tannins and a touch of cherry sourness or bitterness on the close." Robert Parker
