Librandi 2005 Red Wine Riserva Duca San Felice Circo Calabria

Tre Bicchieri - Winemaker Notes - Duca San Felice is the name of the oldest vineyard owned by the Librandi family and the last one planted by Raffaele Librandi, the father of Antonio and Nicodemo. This vineyard is situated in the heart of the Ponta territory, which is considered one of the oldest and most important crus of the classic Cir area. Made from 100% Gaglioppo, a key indegenous varietal that is thought to have been introduced from Greece to Southern Italy about the same time as the Aglianico vine. Tasting Notes - A full bodied and structured wine, the Ciro Rosso Riserva Duca Sanfelice goes best with roasted red meats, game, wildfowl braised meets, liver, spicy dishes and lamb, as well as aged cheese. Offers plenty of fresh plum and lemon aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, with lots of fruit and a long finish. Drink over the next 5-7 years.
