Segno Librandi Rosso Classico

Cirò Rosso Classico DOC bottle image

Wine Description

This wine is made entirely from Gaglioppo, the most important native variety from the Cirò Marina area, which is considered the 'classico' heart of the Cirò appellation. In this southerly location, these vineyards are cooled by Ionian sea breezes and higher elevation, which slow the ripening process down. Cirò Rosso is fermented and aged for one year in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh, youthful character of the wine.

Acclaim
“Bright, light red. Subdued aromas of red fruits, flint and herbs. Sappy, spicy, and uncomplicated, with sweet flavors of strawberry, raspberry and orange peel. Finishes fresh and moderately long. Lots of juicy, fruity fun in the glass here.”
— International Wine Cellar, Apr 2011
“This wine is made entirely from the Gaglioppo grape from the heart of the Cirò appellation. It’s fermented and matured in stainless steel tanks, allowing the juicy flavors of cranberry, strawberry and plum to shine.”
