About this product
Expressive. Bright. A Tuscan red that lives with freshness and finesse.
Il Lupinello from La Lupinella is a celebration of Tuscany’s timeless winemaking tradition — organic, authentic, and made to be shared. Presented in a 1L bottle, it embodies the warmth and generosity of rural Tuscan life. Crafted from a classic blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, and a touch of Trebbiano, this wine reflects the estate’s deep respect for the land and its natural balance.
The nose bursts with fresh cherries, red currants, and wildflowers, followed by subtle herbal and earthy tones that speak of the organic vineyards surrounding San Gimignano. On the palate, it’s vibrant yet silky, with ripe fruit flavours, delicate tannins, and a lively finish that invites another sip. Every drop feels alive — a genuine expression of place and purity.
For Irish drinkers who love honest, food-friendly wines, Il Lupinello delivers unbeatable value. Its larger 1L format is perfect for sharing over dinner — whether it’s a simple pasta night, Sunday roast, or wood-fired pizza with friends. Organic, flavourful, and wonderfully easy-going, it’s Tuscany poured straight into your glass.
Why we love it:
We love Il Lupinello for its organic soul and Tuscan generosity. It’s a red wine made with care and respect for nature, delivering freshness and depth in perfect harmony. The 1L bottle makes it ideal for gatherings in Ireland — a joyful, sustainable choice that turns any meal into an Italian celebration.
