Producer notes: "Born from a project dedicated to the rediscovery of the Granaccia grape variety, a noble Ligurian variety resembling Grenache and cultivated together with small quantities of Syrah and Barbera. The 'Pulin' ('last born' in the local dialect) is a structured red wine with good aging capability and with strong Mediterranean characteristics. Intense red cherry color, elegant and complex aromas of candied red fruits, corbezzolo (Arbutus unedo), and tamarind marmalade, and sweet spice. Broad in the mouth, persistent with round and silky tannins. Suggested Pairings: goat and beans (typical dish of Western Liguria), meat ravioli, lamb, duck, stewed or roasted meats. With aging it is fit to be paired with seasoned cheeses."
Two Glasses, Gambero Rosso (2013).

Producer notes: "Cirò Rosso offers a delightful bouquet of spice, dried fruit, wild berries and plums. Excellent texture and firm, ripe tannins are hallmark attributes of this wine. Incredibly rich and easy-going, Ciró Rosso is the wine of choice for spicy meat dishes, roasted baby goat or lamb, and roasted meat with peppers. Librandi is located in Cirò Marina, a small town in the southern Italian region of Calabria (Italy’s boot tip), on the splendid Ionian coastline. The soil in this area is naturally suited for grape growing, and the geographic position, located between the sea and the Sila Mountains, guarantees an excellent balance between day and nightime temperatures."

86 points Wine & Spirits: "All primary fruit, this grapey red is clean and lean, needing air to add some fleshiness and richness to the flavor. For salumi. (Jun 2012)"
Wine Spectator: "A fresh, medium-bodied red with firm plum and black currant fruit, spice and tobacco notes. Drink now. (2012)"

87 points Fine Wine Review: "[$9 list] This cooperative wine delivers all that you could want: it is dark, fruity, medium-weight, and stylish. Complexity may not be its strong suit, but there’s enough here, especially with substantial aging, to cause you to think much, much higher on the prestige list if served this wine blind. 13.5% stated alcohol. (Issue #134; 2011)"
Importer notes: "Montepulciano makes some famous top-end big reds here in the Abruzzo, but the variety also makes amazingly good inexpensive red wine, far better than comparable Sangiovese. Aromas and flavors of black plum, black cherry, herbs, and black olives surround a wonderful meaty texture, with enough chewiness to make the wine stand up to food. This is the ideal 'spaghetti red,' at a price that will bring a smile to your face every time you open a bottle."
