La Lupinella Sangiovese

Clay-born. Textured. A timeless expression of Sangiovese crafted in terracotta.
La Lupinella’s Sangiovese is a strikingly pure expression of Tuscany’s most noble grape — reinterpreted through the ancient art of amphora ageing. This organic wine embodies a perfect harmony between innovation and heritage, where the porous clay vessels allow the wine to breathe naturally, enhancing texture and minerality while preserving the grape’s vibrant fruit character.

In the glass, it gleams a deep ruby red with aromas of wild cherry, dried rose petals, and subtle notes of spice and terracotta — a sensory nod to its amphora birth. The palate is elegant and focused, revealing juicy red fruit, earthy undertones, and a silky tannic structure that glides effortlessly toward a long, graceful finish.

This is Sangiovese in its most authentic, soulful form — unmasked by oak, unfiltered by convention. A beautiful companion to Irish favourites like roast lamb or mushroom risotto, it brings a taste of Tuscany’s earthy elegance straight into the Irish kitchen.

Why we love it:
Here’s a Sangiovese that reveals its soil, climate, and clay vessel in every sip. The amphora lends it texture, warmth, and earthiness—all while preserving the garrigue and floral lift of this noble grape. Elegant, expressive, and utterly Tuscan.
