Librandi 2019 Cirò Classico Superiore Riserva Duca Sanfelice
Super inviting perfume. Rose hip, hibiscus, raspberry, red berries, flint and spice notes race out of the glass with such unbridled exuberance, more so with a light chill. Unoaked, suits this svelte, brisk red just fine, with delicate tannins lurking but no hard edges. Glad that it didn't try to be "overly" important for important's sake. Seriously onto something here. Call it counter-intuitive, I can totally picture knocking back this red while kicking back on the Ionian coast.
Cirò, Calabria, Italy; 100% gaglioppo; 14% abv.
Distributor Verona Wines
Critic Reviews
A balanced, medium-bodied red, with minerally stone and smoke underscoring a fresh mix of ripe cherry and raspberry fruit, delicate tobacco and spice notes. Drink now. 7,500 cases made.
Alison Napjus (Wine Spectator, 12/2022) 88
The nose displays zesty red fruits of immediate charm. There is evident ripeness here, and a supple texture with no astringency. For Gaglioppo this is elegant and concentrated, and the long finish is lifted by good acidity.

@ippolito1845 “a wine a story”… Durante il #ciròwinefestival , organizzato dal @consorziociromelissadoc , ho avuto il piacere di visitare anche la cantina #ippolito , che rappresenta una vera e propria istituzione per il territorio e per questa denominazione. Una cantina storica, che come riportato nel logo, risale al 1845 e rappresenta la più antica realtà vinicola in #calabria . 100 ettari situati nel centro storico di Cirò Marina, e sviluppati nelle zone più pregiate della Doc Cirò , oltre ad essere state tra le prime cantine calabresi a piantare le vigne in collina. A fianco del Cirò, prodotto nella versione rossa e rosata con il #gaglioppo e nella versione bianca con il #grecobianco , ho avuto il piacere di degustare anche il #pecorello , un altro vitigno tipico Calabrese, che è stato recuperato ed egregiamente valorizzato proprio da questa cantina, da sempre impegnata nella riscoperta dei vitigni autoctoni del luogo. Non a caso ha catturato l’attenzione della critica italiana e internazionale che gli ha conferito vari riconoscimenti di primaria importanza. Un vitigno bianco che non ha parentele con il vicino #pecorino Abruzzese, e che si distingue per il suo attacco morbido e dolce dove poi arriva la tipica salinità del luogo. Ad accompagnarmi nella visita, @paolo_doc_ippolito e @gianluca__ippolito , tra i protagonisti del reportage video sul #ciròwinefestival che trovate su tutti i Social di Vino.Tv e nella sezione Guide di Instagram “La Calabria e il suo Cirò”.

Il Santuario Apollo Alois di Cirò
Quando si parla di Cirò Marina (Kr), la prima cosa che viene in mente è il vino DOC che si produce in quella zona. Furono i greci che, per la fertilità della terra, chiamarono tutta la Calabria “Enotria”, cioè terra dove si coltiva la vite. Alcuni tipi di vitigni ancora presenti in Calabria, sono di origine greca, come il gaglioppo e il greco bianco. Ma Cirò Marina è anche ricordata per l’antica…

Ciro (Calabre): sur les traces du «prince noir»
Le raisin le plus emblématique de la Calabre, sur le versant de la mer ionienne, est le gaglioppo. Surnommé le «prince noir», il donne le Cirò, un rouge élégant, qui aspire à accéder à la DOCG — le plus haut niveau de la hiérarchie italienne. Grâce à la famille Librandi…

Over several minutes, the aroma sweetens, with a hint of brown sugar emerging. Entry is light and silky. Mid palate builds in concentration, offering sweet stewed apricot and roasted nut flavors. Finishes dry with cocoa and vanilla followed by a light honey/ nougat fade.

Distilleria Caffo Grappa Italiana 750ml
A traditional beverage of northern italy and is considered the oldest distilled all known. Its flavor varies like any other wine or liquor, which depends on the quality, condition, taste, and the type of grape used. Some opt to add a fruit syrup to sweeten and soften a bit, getting a drink of base typical Italian grappa but with a milder flavor.
This Grappa is comprised of 95% magliocco and gaglioppo, with 5% pinot grigio brought in for good measure. Distilled twice on an alembic still, Caffo’s grappa is way less fiery than many would expect from the norm, especially for the price. Enjoy on its own or mixed into cocktails needing that dried fruit and herbal touch.

Marolo Milla Camomile Grappa 375ml
Made by infusing chamomile blossoms in Nebbiolo grappa. Its calming qualities also help digestion. A delectable sweet digestive created from a traditional recipe of the Langhe region.
This grappa is based on an old family recipe, used by S ignora Lodovina, and perfected by her grandson, Paolo Marolo. It clearly exudes the fresh aroma of chamomile tea with honeyed sweetness. The recipe is both very simple and very difficult, because it takes a master to balance the ingredients of this unique liqueur, the ORIGINAL chamomile liqueur. It is based on grappa from Nebbiolo grapes in which the chamomile flowers are left to macerate for 11 months, with the addition of sugar.
