Il Vino di Librandi

The Librandi Winery and Vineyards are located deep in southern Italy where our family finds its roots. This award-winning establishment has single-handedly put Cirò on the map as a quality grape-growing region in Italy and specializes in native Calabrian grape varietals. Even though the Tursi's have an intrinsic motivation to support the Librandi's, we are close family, it can be assured that all of their wines are top quality. The passion and care Nicodemo and his family put into their grapes, surpassed by no one in Italy, is evident in every bottle. A taste of their wine is a taste of our heritage.

Chianti Classico

In 1716 Cosimo III de'Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany issued an edict legislating that the three villages be the only officially recognized producers of Chianti. Since then, certain areas of Tuscany have been rezoned and added to the Chianti region, but the original Chianti Classico zone retains its own DOCG area separate from the greater Chianti region. Even though each Chianti wine must contain 80% Sangiovese grapes, they all contain different nuances in bouquet and taste due to the unique terroir.

The Castello D'Albola was long the domain of famous and noble families whose influence during the Renaissance remains legendary. Red garnet in color and full-bodied in character.

Produced by Ruffino from the finest grapes grown in the heart of Chianti Classico. A wine with distinct structure, this Riserva is rich and complex, with a soft, lingering finish.

Brunello di Montalcino

Brunello, roughly translated as "nice dark one" in the local dialect, is the name of the unique Sangiovese clone grown in the vineyards surrounding the hill town of Montalcino. Brunello di Montalcino was awarded one of Italy's first D.O.C.G. designations for outstanding quality in 1980 and continues to be one of Italy's most popular wines.

San Giorgio, Ugolforte, 2000

With only ten hectares under the vine, the Folonari family puts a great deal of care into each bundle of grapes. A long maceration is followed by aging in partly new barriques, then in large Slovanian oak barrels.

Salice Salentino

While traditional Italian-American cuisine, pasta with marinara, is distinctly Napolitano, the most popular Italian wines are from areas north of Rome. Because northern cuisine differs greatly from the tomato-heavy foods of southern Italy, it is often difficult to find a quality wine to complement these dishes. Lucky for us the people of Salento make their wine specifically for this purpose.

Leone de Castris, Maiana, 2008, D.O.C.

Distinctly ruby-red in color with characteristic aromas of plum and vanilla spice. The fruit and tannins are well integrated in this full-bodied and round wine.

Marco Felluga, Collio, (Tocai) Friulano, 2007, D.O.C.

and silky on the pallet. A fantastic companion to our Pollo Alla Piccata.

Movia, Brda/Collio, Ribolla, 2003, Slovenia.

Movia’s winemaker takes old world philosophy to the next level. This unfiltered, white wine is truly unique. Velvety on the palate with powerful fruit aromas, it must be tried to be understood.

Maso Canali, Trentino-Alto Adige, Pinot Grigio, 2008, D.O.C.

The refined Sangiovese clones of Castello Banfi produce this satisfying wine. A thoughtful and lovely introduction to red wine of Montalcino. Hints of cherry and licorice complement its smooth finish.

Vietti, Langhe, Nebbiolo Perbacco, 2007

Made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes sourced from Vietti’s different Barolo vineyards, this
is a fantastic “Baby Barolo”. While the aging process of this wine simplifies some Barolo complexities, it also makes the current vintage more approachable and drinkable.
