Winery | Calabria remains one of Italy’s least developed regions and it is only relatively recently that modern winemaking techniques have been adopted. Librandi are a notable exception to this. In the 1950s, Raffaele Librandi and his two sons, Antonio and Nicodemo, decided to take their family vineyards on a march towards modernity. Since then, they have not been afraid to incorporate external influences and employ the assistance of international experts without ever losing sight of what makes their wines distinctively Calabrian. This approach has seen them become the benchmark for the region. |
