About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vines grow in Calabria’s Mediterranean climate, influenced by sea air and hot sun.

Grapes

The blend comprises 60% Gaglioppo and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. Librandi arrived at these proportions after several years of experimentation.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested during the first ten days of October. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel vats, with 15 days of maceration.

Ageing

The wine matures for 12 months in Allier oak barriques, followed by six months in bottle.

Label / history

Gravello was first released in the late 1980s.
