“GRAVELLO” VAL DI NETO ROSSO IGT 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.

“MAGNOMEGONIO” VAL DI NETO ROSSO IGT Made entirely from Magliocco grapes, Magno Megonio is named after a Roman centurion who was said to be the first to recognize the viticultural promise of the area and owned part of the estate that Librandi owns today. The family has been studying and experimenting with Magliocco for years, and although many growers have pulled up these vines in favor of planting grapes with more international renown, the Librandis continue their staunch advocacy of this most promising grape variety.
