|
Our entire history can be summed up in this wine produced from the
Gaglioppo grapes that have thrived in the vineyards of Cirņ, or Krimissa as it was known
to the ancient world, for three thousand years. It was from this same vine, grown in
this same soil, that our ancestors made the famous wine offered to Milo of Crotone when
he won the Olympic Games. The Librandi family follows ancient tradition in the making of Cirņ Rosso, reviving a hint of our glorious past. |
