About this product

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.

Why we love it:
Lelio is soulful and full of charm — a perfect example of how Italy’s hidden native grapes can deliver serious flavour and depth. One of our top organic red wines for adventurous Irish palates.

Country of origin

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
