Segno Librandi Rosso Classico
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.
