Librandi Antonio e Nicodemo SpA - S.S. 106 – C.da S. Gennaro, 88811 Cirò Marina (KR)
Its origin is easy to guess. The white Greek, in fact, although a grape variety that is grown mainly in Calabria, seems to derive from Greece, having arrived in our south over the centuries, finding an ideal climate and soil here. Characterised by medium-sized bunches, with berries endowed with a thick, pruinose skin, in the cellar it proves to be extremely versatile, yielding excellent sweet wines but also, as in this case, fragrant dry whites. A 100% Greco bianco, Asylia Melissa Bianco DOC proposed here by the Librandi winery, comes from careful processing of the best Greco grapes, vinified in steel, with soft pressing and ageing, again in steel. This is followed by a brief stay in the bottle for a few months before release. Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections. The nose opens with citrus nuances and light vegetal tones. All made even more appealing by the subtle mineral vein. In the mouth it is fruity and floral, with good persistence. Pleasantly savoury, it goes perfectly with fish-based first courses. To be served as an aperitif, this white will certainly accompany the whole meal with gusto.
6 estates, 232 hectares of vineyards, 80 hectares of olive groves. A single objective: quality. All this is Librandi, one of the wineries that best represents our South in the world. It is no coincidence that the Librandi proudly call themselves 'Winemakers of Calabria'. The company is based in Cirò Marina, a town overlooking the Ionian Sea, with its hilly and flat vineyards set in the Mediterranean maquis. Since its origins, Librandi has been a totally family-run business. Bound to tradition, they have never lost sight of innovation, research and the rediscovery of the riches of Calabria. In their portfolio, wines capable of exalting the most authentic and sincere identity of their region, produced mainly from indigenous vines and enhanced by means of a very high quality production technique. From Gaglioppo and Greco, in particular, also thanks to the collaboration with top experts in the viticulture and oenology sector. And the great thing is that, even more than half a century later, you never stop learning. For this reason, they are certain at Librandi, some of the most beautiful pages of Calabrian oenology have yet to be written.
