Librandi Ciro Rosso Classico



Name: Librandi Ciro Rosso Classico
Country: Italy
Price: $3.95/Closeout

Winery review:  Don’t let the pale garnet color fool you:  this is a substantial wine.  Aromas of red fruits and spice complement undertones of cranberries, wild berries, and plums.  On the palate, ripe tannins and good body make for an incredibly rich, yet easygoing red wine.  Pair this wine with sausage, spicy curry sauces, hot soppressata, and tandoori chicken.

My review: BAM! This wine was a punch in the face. It had a reserved nose; I wasn’t expecting much flavor out of this wine until it hit me. It was complex, fruity, spicy, and delicious. The only off-putting thing with this wine was how tannic it was but that’s just something I don’t enjoy. This was a really solid wine and I would’ve bought it for $4 if I had thought to look at the price at the time.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
