This grape is not found anywhere else in the world. In Italy, people are therefore proud of the Italian wines made with this grape. Few countries breathe wine more than Italy. The Librandi winery in Italy has made Gaglioppo famous.","products":[{"product_id":"librandi-segno-ciro-classico-rosso","title":"Librandi Segno Ciro Classico Rosso","description":"This beautiful Ciro Classico from the Librandi winery is one you'll remember. This top Italian red is made from the Gaglioppo grape, which offers abundant aromas and ripeness. Thanks to its thick skin, the grape is well-suited to the warm climate. The heat is tempered somewhat by its location against the Sila Mountains. This unique location provides the necessary cooling for the vineyards as the sun sets.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Quality wines for four generations\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Librandi winery is a family of winegrowers who have been lovingly cultivating their vineyards for four generations. The family manages over 155 hectares of vineyards. All the grape varieties used come from this vineyard. The estate is divided into numerous small plots, each with a different soil or microclimate. This ranges from cooler areas with looser soil to warmer locations with exposed clay hills. Initially, only grapes were grown, but in the 1950s, the family members decided to establish their own winery and, consequently, to bottle the wines themselves.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Librandi's showpiece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis Rosso is undoubtedly the showpiece among Librandi's classic wines. It's a classic red wine made entirely from Gaglioppo grapes. It's made as a smooth and juicy wine and aged exclusively in stainless steel. The grapes are sourced from the commune of Ciro itself. Once ripe, the grapes are carefully harvested in late September and early October. This is when the fruit is at its peak. A short fermentation is used to avoid making the wines too heavy or harsh. The goal is for the wine to remain supple and drinkable young, and Librandi has achieved this admirably.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The smell and taste of the Librandi Segno Ciro Classico Rosso\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nIt's a beautiful wine, with aromas of black fruit, blackberries, spices, pleasant cinnamon, and cloves, framed by vanilla from the oak barrels. Because this Ciro red wine from Librandi undergoes long oak aging, it develops rich flavors of black fruit, oak, a touch of vanilla, and a touch of spice. The Gaglioppo grape also gives it a long, powerful finish, with soft nuances of black fruit.","brand":"Vinites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775758602319,"sku":"5083","price":11.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/ciro-classico-rosso-librandi_5083.webp?v=1770046368"},{"product_id":"librandi-asylia-rosso-melissa-gaglioppo","title":"Librandi Asylia Rosso Melissa Gaglioppo","description":"The delicious native Gaglioppo grape may be completely unknown in the Netherlands, but in Calabria it's a household name and considered the region's finest.

In the early 1950s, Antonio Librandi began bottling wines independently here. Since then, the name Librandi has been synonymous with quality wines. The vineyards benefit from a fresh breeze from the Ionian Sea. Wind, sun, and the highly calcareous soil guarantee fresh and mineral-rich wines. Today, Paulo Librandi is elevating the wines to a higher level. Without losing sight of the region's ancient traditions, he crafts modern wines from both international and indigenous grape varieties.\n\n\n \nIn recent years, the DOC Melissa has emerged as Calabria's second most important wine region, after Ciro. Melissa is located directly south of Ciro, also on the Ionian Sea coast. The majority of the production is red, namely ninety percent. Gaglioppo is the primary grape for Melissa Rosso. Librandi chooses to use 100 percent Gaglioppo because it is considered the region's absolute flagship. The most important thing is that the wine should be enjoyed for its fruit and freshness. Therefore, fermentation takes place in stainless steel and is kept short to prevent the wine from acquiring too much tannin from the skins. This results in an elegant wine, with fruit bursting from the glass.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The scents and flavors of Librandi Asylia Rosso Melissa Gaglioppo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe aroma is delightfully fruity, with pleasant notes of blueberries, blackberries, a hint of spice, and jam—fragrant and seductive.

It is a powerful wine that further emphasizes its classic character. This is due to the lower yields than with the regular Ciro Rosso, and the long fermentation of three weeks.
