Elegant. Luminous. A rosé born of clay and tradition.
Rosa from La Lupinella captures the romance of Tuscany in a single glass — fresh, organic, and full of delicate charm. Made from a harmonious blend of Sangiovese and Canaiolo, this elegant rosato embodies the essence of sun-drenched hills and Mediterranean breezes that define the region around San Gimignano.
Its colour glows with soft rose petals and coral hues, while the nose offers an enchanting bouquet of wild strawberries, peach skin, and a touch of rosehip. On the palate, Rosa is vibrant and graceful, balancing crisp acidity with juicy red fruit flavours and a gentle mineral undertone. It’s the kind of wine that immediately transports you to a summer evening in Tuscany — fresh air, olive trees, and laughter all around.
In Ireland, Rosa shines as a versatile companion: equally at home with seafood platters, grilled vegetables, or a relaxed picnic in the garden. Certified organic, it’s a true expression of mindful winemaking — pure, sustainable, and effortlessly enjoyable.
Why we love it:
Rosa is a rosé that transcends seasonal norms. Its crisp, textural interplay of clay and fruit, combined with elegant structure and organic purity, makes it a delightful wine for sipping anytime. It offers both Tuscan authenticity and universal charm—true to its roots, yet refreshingly modern.

Short passage in amphorae, followed by 2 months in used barrels and 3 months in concrete tank.
Founded in 1977 by Vittoriano Bitossi, La Lupinella is an artisanal Tuscan estate rooted in ceramic and vine. With certified organic vineyards planted midway between Montespertoli and Sant’Ansano, the winery emphasizes sustainability, site specificity, and indigenous traditions—using clay amphorae, cement tanks, and old-oak vessels to reflect both vine and land.
Led today by Marco Bitossi and winemaker Manuela Marzi, La Lupinella creates wines that are both expressive and elegant—anchored in terroir, inspired by heritage.
