Librandi crafts unique wines from both local and international grapes. And this lovely sweet wine completes the range. A real icing on the cake.

Highly regarded wines for four generations

The Librandi family has been working the vineyards located in the Calabrian village of Ciro Mirana for four generations. Initially, the family only grew grapes, but in the early 1950s, Antonio Librandi began bottling wines independently. Since then, the name Librandi has been synonymous with quality wines. The vineyards benefit from a fresh breeze from the Ionian Sea. Wind, sun, and the highly calcareous soil guarantee fresh and mineral-rich wines. Today, Paulo Librandi is elevating the wines to a higher level. Without losing sight of the region's ancient traditions, he produces modern wines from both international and indigenous grape varieties. Librandi wines are highly regarded both nationally and internationally. The local Mantonico grape is used for this Le Passule Passito. This unique grape is used in the Calabria region for both dry and sweet wines due to its high acidity. The grapes for the sweet wines are carefully harvested during October. After harvesting, they undergo a two-week drying process to build up sufficient sugars for producing a good sweet wine. After drying, the wine is fermented in oak barriques from the Allier region. Finally, the wine is aged in the barriques for another six months, resulting in a particularly complex sweet wine.

The flavors and aromas of Librandi Le Passule Passito

On the nose, we detect notes of pineapple, vanilla, peach, and nectarine. It has a powerful and smoky aroma. Then it's time to taste the wine. An intense, rich, and powerful sweetness dominates. Good acidity and a beautifully restrained sweetness complete the wine. Ideal with fresh fruit such as pineapple, apricot, or peach.
