Description:
Named after a Roman centurion who lived in our land in the second century AD, and who was the first to write about our wine-making traditions. Produced using Magliocco Dolce grapes, a variety that grows throughout the Calabrian region, this red with a big personality and a good structure represents local wine-making at its best. Made with native grape Magliocco, this structured wine conveys aromas of scorched earth, spiced plum and vanilla. On the palate, touches of white pepper, tobacco, toast and licorice accent the core of juicy black cherry, while racy acidity and assertive tannins provide the framework. The finish lingers, closing on a coffee note.
Winery:
The Librandi winery works with 230 hectares of vineyards around the Ciro’s region on the south coast of Calabria. It is the biggest and the most famous winery of the region. Although the company was founded in 1950, the family has been working with wine for centuries, steeped in a love of tradition. The Librandi brothers also work closely with consultants and academics studying local varieties, clones and vineyard density.
