Segno Librandi Rosato
Wine Description
The vineyards that dot the countryside of the small town of Cirò Marina overlook the Ionian Sea and benefit from cool ocean breezes, thus producing grapes with spicy and floral aromas. Cirò Rosato is made from 100% Gaglioppo, Calabria's signature variety, selectively harvested in late September into early October.
