Encircled between two seas, Calabria offers a changing and unparalleled landscape, from the rugged peaks and lush forests of the hinterland to the clear beaches of its shores. Librandi is based in Cirò Marina, a town overlooking the Ionian Sea, with its hilly and flat vineyards set in the Mediterranean maquis.
The activity of bottling Gaglioppo and Greco Bianco based wines began in 1953 in the small winery in via Tirone and the company has always been exclusively family-run: managed until 2012 by the founding brothers Antonio and Nicodemo Librandi; today, after Antonio’s passing, it is run by Nicodemo, Raffaele, Paolo, Francesco and Teresa Librandi. An important choice that sees the Librandi family at the forefront of all the company’s activities: from vineyard management to marketing.
The several family estates cover about 350 hectares, of which 232 are vineyards, 80 are olive groves and the rest woodland where craftsmanship and manual work supported by innovative technological tools represent the mix that has always characterized the work of the Librandi family.
In the Rosaneti estate they have given birth to a “varietal garden”, a collection of autochthonous vines that currently contains about 200 varieties recovered throughout the region and arranged in a vineyard with a characteristic spiral shape.It is here that some of the most important and representative wines are born, the result of research work on the native varieties: Efeso and Megonio. Moreover, the estate houses the museum of vine and wine and farming activities Vi.
Te.S (VIticulture, Territory and History), a collection of artefacts, tools and utensils partly kept over the years in the warehouses of the Librandi family, partly belonging to other local families who have given new life to precious objects in their possession. Visiting the museum is a unique experience that takes you back to an archaic but highly ingenious world.Autoctonous Grape varieties: Gaglioppo, Greco Bianco, Magliocco, Mantonico
