Tasting notes

Librandi's Duca San Felice Ciro Rosso Riserva brings the rich terroir of Calabria into your glass. Made entirely from Gaglioppo grapes, it marries local tradition with a modern twist, making it a charming companion for casual meals. You should definitely give this one a try.

In volume 13, this wine is the one Chosuke found to pair perfectly with kimchi—an unexpected but delightful match. Its sweetness and medium body make it versatile for various dishes, and it's fun to see how Chosuke discovered such a unique pairing.

The wine has a deep ruby color, and as you tilt the glass, you can see its richness. The aroma is open, with rich notes of black cherry and plum bursting forth. There's also a hint of spice that brings a touch of the warm Calabrian breeze to mind.

On the palate, the sweetness is the first thing you notice, followed by a vibrant acidity. The tannins are dense, giving it a solid body with a slightly long finish. This wine adds warmth to your table, making it a friendly choice for everyday dining. Try serving it slightly chilled to enhance its charm even more.
