The Cirò Riserva DOC "Duca San Felice" produced by the Balthazar - Librandi winery is an ode to the winemaking tradition of Calabria, which stands out for its elegance and complexity. This wine is made exclusively from selected Gaglioppo grapes, a typical indigenous variety of the region, which is magnificently reflected in the wine's character and intensity.

In the glass, the Cirò Riserva DOC "Duca San Felice" presents a deep ruby red color with garnet reflections, indicative of its maturation. On the nose, it offers a rich and persistent bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruits like cherries and plums, enriched by nuances of sweet spices, vanilla, and a slight touch of tobacco and leather, resulting from a carefully calibrated aging in oak barrels.

On the palate, the structure of this wine is robust yet harmonious. The balance between soft tannins and fresh acidity makes it extremely pleasant to the taste, with a long and enveloping finish that leaves impressions of spices and dried fruits.

Ideal as an accompaniment to hearty dishes such as roasted red meats, game, and aged cheeses, the Cirò Riserva DOC "Duca San Felice" enhances the rich and intense cuisine typical of southern Italy. Its complexity and elegance also make it perfect for being appreciated on its own, as a meditation wine.

The Balthazar - Librandi winery, with its historic dedication to Calabrian viticulture, guarantees a product that is both a tribute to tradition and an excellent example of how modern winemaking expertise can enhance the innate qualities of indigenous varietals. This wine is a superb choice for wine lovers seeking to discover or rediscover the authentic flavors of the Calabrian terroir.
