Gravello 2001

Librandi, from Calabria, Italy, is a standout in the region's wine scene, and their Gravello perfectly captures the local essence. They blend the native Aglianico with international Cabernet Sauvignon, creating a fine balance of tradition and innovation.

In volume 13, this wine makes an appearance, chosen by Yuna to pair with kimchi. It's described as having a fiery passion like a matador, where passion begets passion, and the joy echoes through each sip.

Take a look at the glass—it's got that lovely brick-red rim, showing its 25 years of aging beautifully. When you smell it, rich aromas of black cherry and blackberry come forward, with hints of spices and a touch of tea, making it incredibly complex and inviting.

On the palate, it starts with a lush fruitiness that's quickly followed by a lively acidity. The tannins are dense, embracing your palate smoothly. The finish is long, like a passionate dance that resonates in your heart. When serving, try using a slightly large glass and aim for around 17°C to get the best experience.
