Librandi is located in Cirò Marina, a small town in the southern Italian region of Calabria (Italy’s boot tip), on the splendid Ionian coastline. The soil in this area is naturally suited for grape growing, and the geographic position, located between the sea and the Sila Mountains, guarantees an excellent balance between day and nightime temperatures.
In the 1950’s, after growing grapes for four generations, the Librandi family decided to produce and bottle their own wines. Company management has always been firmly in the family’s hands, while Donato Lanati, Professor of Oenology at the Universities of Turin and Florence, is the consulting winemaker. All Librandi wines and olive oils are made exclusively from estate-grown grapes and olives.
The Librandi family owns a total of 890 acres, 573 of which are vineyards, 247 are olive groves, and the remainder is dedicated to the forest. The vineyards are planted with both local varietals (Gaglioppo, Magliocco and Mantonico) and international varietals. Librandi also runs an experimental vineyard with ancient local varietals.
