The one proposed here is one of Calabria's most representative wines. It is called Duca Sanfelice, Cirò DOC Riserva Classico Superiore, a red wine produced by the Librandi winery, one of the most important and historical wineries in the region. It comes from a pure processing of Gaglioppo grapes, which is considered the native Calabrian vine par excellence. Its name refers to the feud of Sanfelice, where the Librandi family owns the vineyards from which the grapes come. Vinified in steel with a 7-10 day maceration of the skins to extract colour and aromas, at the end of the transformation the wine matures in steel and cement vats for two years. At the end of this phase, after being bottled, the wine rests in the cellar for a few months before being put on the market. Duca Sanfelice Cirò DOC Riserva Classico Superiore has a dark ruby red colour with garnet hues. The nose reveals an intense and complex bouquet reminiscent of ripe red fruits, such as cherry, plum and blackberry, enriched by balsamic notes of mint and eucalyptus, and intriguing spicy nuances of black pepper and cinnamon. In the mouth it is full, warm and enveloping, with a good tannic structure well balanced by freshness and savouriness. A versatile wine, on the table it can accompany the entire meal, although it best expresses its qualities with red meat dishes, roasts and braised meats. But also game, venison and mature cheeses. Good today, it is a wine that if stored well can easily age for several years in the cellar.
