About us
Librandi. Four generations of passion for wine.

Family

Our history with vineyards and wine stretches back for four generations. Many things have changed over the years, but our calling as wine-makers and our close relationship with the land have kept our passion burning and have always been at the heart of our projects.

Tradition and research

For four generations we have been steadfast supporters of our land and of its richness. We strongly believe in what it represented in the past, what it represents today and above all what it will represent in the future for the world of wine.
We started from tradition; Gaglioppo, Greco, and the large number of native varieties present in the region. We started with head-training and with rootstocks traditionally used in the area, as well as with the teachings of our expert growers, whose skills were rooted in the centuries of Cirò’s area wine-making.
Then we turned to the leading experts in the vine-growing and wine-making industries, because we knew that meticulous research would allow us to focus on, preserve and improve our wine-making heritage. This has always been our goal and our demand to the scientific community. Far from wanting to invent or change anything, through science we merely wished to reach a deeper, ultimate understanding of the great treasure that was available to us.
We now know that our original intuition was a good one, and that some of the most beautiful pages in Calabria's wine-making history have yet to be written.
