Lupo Meraviglia, Primitivo Blend "Tre di Tre" 2020 Puglia, Italy

From the sun-soaked Salento peninsula in Puglia's heel, Lupo Meraviglia takes its name from the coat of arms of nearby Lecce, featuring a wolf beneath a holm oak tree—symbols of resilience and deep roots in this ancient Mediterranean terroir. The "Tre di Tre" represents the perfect harmony of three indigenous grape varieties, three generations of winemaking tradition, and the marriage of time-honored techniques with modern innovation. This award-winning blend showcases the concentrated power and elegance that emerges from Puglia's iron-rich soils and warm climate tempered by cooling sea breezes.

Tasting Notes

Deep, impenetrable ruby red with garnet edges. The nose reveals enticing aromas of red fruit jam, ripe blackberry, and black cherry that seamlessly blend with sweet vanilla and spicy tobacco notes from six months of Slavonian oak aging. On the palate, the wine shows remarkable concentration and structure with plush, silky tannins and great drinkability. The finish is long and persistent with a pleasant tannic backbone and warming herbal notes that linger beautifully.
