Librandi - Jamessuckling.com	Gravello Val di Neto Rosso IGT	2016	90	Nov-2019
Review “Red-berry and vanilla aromas. This has ripe, smooth and creamy, fine tannins with a spicy oak edge to the finish. Approachable and easygoing style here.”
Librandi - Jamessuckling.com			91	Nov-2019
Review “I like the intensity of the peaches and nectarines here, and the hints of croissant and brioche. Full-bodied and quite mouth-filling, but there’s easily enough acidity to carry the succulent stone fruit in which this excels.”
Librandi - Jamessuckling.com			90	Nov-2019
Review “Dried leaves, sesame seeds, glazed redcurrants and vine leaves here. Medium to full body, warm and hearty tannins and a fruit-driven finish.”
Librandi - Jamessuckling.com			90	Nov-2019
Review “Pretty brambleberries and bracken here, as well as heather. Juicy and fruity, but firm and savory. Quite coarse on the finish, but the soft fruit provides a welcome canvas for the dark flavors to take hold.”
Librandi - Jamessuckling.com			89	Nov-2019
Review “A waxy, amber-tinged white, reminiscent of pizza dough, leather and macerated Mirabelle plums. Full-bodied and very intense, but a little heavy on the finish.”
Librandi - Winston - Salem Journal	Cirò Rosato DOC	2018		Jul-2019
Review “Strawberry, cherry and watermelon. Refreshing with bright acidity. Good plus.”
Librandi - Santé	Cirò Rosato DOC	2018		Apr-2019
Review “More of a food wine, with cherry and green herb notes and full on the palate. The grape? Gaglioppo.”
Librandi - Paste	Cirò Rosato DOC	2018		Apr-2019
Review “From the coast of Calabria, land of many spicy dishes, this wine is made from 100% Gaglioppo, a heritage varietal of Calabria that you don’t see planted abundantly elsewhere. Bold, fruit-punch color. Hallmark flavors of Gaglioppo are terra cotta, redcurrant, leather and raspberry. In this pink iteration, spicy notes come to the fore. There’s a dusty quality to it and a lot of raspberry flavors. Traces of redcurrant and tobacco. If you’re playing with southern Italian dishes this wine would be such a good plan. Even if you’re not, actually.”
Librandi - Aspen Daily News				Feb-2019
Review “Bright green apple, pear and flinty minerality make this wine shine like the Lombardi Trophy. You may at first not think chardonnay, but then that old feeling settles in: the face of a familiar February friend.”
Librandi - Vanity Fair Italy				Jan-2019
Review “The Gaglioppo, called the Black Prince for its intense color bunch, is the Calabrian vine used to produce the Cirò rosso. The Tenuta Librandi, in Cirò Marina, has focused on the recovery of the ancient native varieties as well as international grapes such as Cabernet sauvignon, Cabernet franc, Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc. Gravello was born 30 years ago from the desire to create a wine that can compete with the great reds of other Italian regions. Gaglioppo (60%) and Cabernet sauvignon (40%) is considered one of the most interesting wines of the region. Born from the vineyards of the Val di Neto, between the Ionian and the Sila, it ages in wood for 12 months in barriques of Allier and six months in the bottle. Intense ruby red, powerful and soft, it has fruity aromas, notes of licorice and vanilla. It is a wine for red meats, game, strong and spicy cheeses.”
