Ancient Grape. Modern Energy. Bold Character.
From the volcanic hills of Cori, Lelio is a striking red made from Nero Buono, an ancient variety once nearly forgotten. Organically grown and expertly vinified, this wine captures the full character of Lazio’s native terroir — dark, expressive, and full of life.
Aged partly in French oak and partly in stainless steel, Lelio walks the line between structure and freshness. Rich fruit, wild spice, and a whisper of smoke make it a fascinating alternative for red wine lovers in Ireland who crave something beyond the usual.

Italy

Lazio IGT

- Nero Buono

Colour
Deep ruby red.
Nose
Black cherry, wild berries, clove, and a touch of violet.
Palate
Juicy and rich with layers of black fruit, spice, and soft tannins. A gentle oak influence adds polish without overpowering.

A versatile red that’s bold enough for hearty meals but elegant enough for conversation:
- Tuscan sausage with lentils
- Grilled lamb chops with rosemary
- Stuffed aubergine or roasted root vegetables
- Irish cheddar or aged Pecorino
