Librandi Gravello 2021
W I N E D E S C R I P T I O N
This is a "Super Calabrian" wine made from the indigenous Gaglioppo and international
Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Gravello is a fantasy name, but "grave" in Italian means "serious"
and "important," which is a reference to the complexity and sophistication of this wine. The
suffix of "-ello" makes this meaning a bit lighter, as the wine is accessible and drinking
beautifully right now.
T A S T I N G N O T E S
Deep ruby-red in color, Gravello is intensely aromatic with notes of blackberry, ripe
cherry, coffee, and cassis. On the palate, it is rich with velvety tannins and a persistent finish.
F O O D P A I R I N G
Pair this wine with grilled game, Mornay sauces, Chateaubriand, and duxelles-stuffed filet
mignon.
