International recognition comes thanks to “CORALE”, the wine symbol of the fight against gender violence, the result of the collective project promoted by Donne del Vino.
Vincenza Alessio Librandi, mother of Raffaele and Paolo Librandi and aunt of Teresa and Francesco Librandi, today at the helm of the historic winery of the same name in Cirò Marina, officially named a few weeks ago in the prestigious “List of 50” of the Women in Wine & Spirits Award 2024, the international recognition that celebrates the most influential women leaders in the wine and spirits sector worldwide. The prestigious achievement is the result of a virtuous path that began with “CORALE”, the wine symbol of the fight against gender violence, born from the collective project promoted by the National Association Le Donne del Vino. An initiative that focused on the strength of shared work and the value of social awareness, demonstrating how wine can be a spokesperson for messages of justice and change.
The “CORALE” project is not just a wine, but a manifesto of social commitment. A tangible symbol of the transformative power of wine, born from the collaboration of ten Calabrian producers united under the aegis of Le Donne del Vino. Each bottle contains the value of sharing, the strength of women and the desire to contribute concretely to raising awareness against gender violence. “CORALE” has traveled between events and presentations, gathering consensus and attention, and becoming a vehicle for messages of justice and change.
It is precisely from this collective experience that Vincenza Alessio Librandi was nominated for the Women in Wine & Spirits Award 2024, one of the most prestigious international awards that celebrates female figures capable of redefining the rules of the wine and spirits sector. Her nomination was supported by the “Le Donne del Vino” Association, which wanted to highlight her crucial role not only as a protagonist of the “CORALE” project, but also for her entrepreneurial and social vision.
Vincenza Alessio Librandi has been able to embody the values of inclusion, sustainability and social responsibility. Her activity has embraced a broad concept of “care” and “vision”, promoting projects that put the community and the territory at the center. Since 2019, she has held the role of regional delegate for Calabria within the National Association “Le Donne del Vino”, promoting training projects, wine tourism courses for schools and initiatives to enhance the wine landscape.
The Women in Wine & Spirits Award is not just an award, but a celebration of the talent and global impact of women in the industry. The 2024 edition received hundreds of nominations from around the world and recognized women who have distinguished themselves through leadership, innovation, and social responsibility. Vincenza Alessio Librandi’s nomination found space in the prestigious “Corporate Social Responsibility” category, rewarding her 360-degree commitment to ethical and conscious viticulture.
The nomination of Vincenza Alessio Librandi in the “List of 50” represents not only a personal but a collective recognition, bringing the whole of Calabria under the spotlight of the international wine scene. It is the triumph of a choral vision, just like the wine she helped create. The echo of this success resonates not only among the rows of Cirò Marina, but throughout the world of wine, reminding us that change is always possible, especially when it is carried forward by a “CHORAL” action of determined voices.
