Librandi Gravello Val di Neto Rosso, an exquisite Italian wine, hails from the Calabria region of Southern Italy. A blend of Gaglioppo and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is rich in dark fruits, spices and leather tones. On the palate, it impresses with tannic, earthy fullness balanced by a subtle hint of cherry sweetness. Aged in French oak barrels, it showcases a seductive, luxuriously rounded flavour. This robust red wine pairs wonderfully with hearty meat dishes, particularly ones with a magnificent depth of flavour. Gravello is a splendid wine suitable for special occasions and will undoubtedly impress any ardent red wine enthusiast.

Tasting Notes

This wine was created in the late 80s from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Gaglioppo. It immediately became one of the company's premier wines and a symbol of Calabria, which was just beginning to open up to the international market. We are very fond of its fancy name, evoking complexity and gravity on one hand while suggesting lightness and spontaneity on the other: a link between two opposites that best represents our wine-making philosophy.
