The convention of the affiliates of ‘Italia del Vino - Consorzio’ increased its base by receiving one of the brands icon of Calabrian oenology: Cantine Librandi by Cirò Marina (Kr). Antonio and Nicodemo Librandi, tenants since three generations, developed this tradition by opening a production that invested much in order to rediscover, safeguard, and enhance the Calabrian autochthonous species of vine. For instance, this happened as for the experimental vineyards of magliocco, arvino, mantonico bianco, and pecorello, protecting the viticultural germ plasm that risked the extinction by bringing it to attention and appreciation of the markets all over the world.
