Drinking Window 2025 - 2028
The 2023 Nero di Lupo smolders up with a blend of violet and lavender, giving way to crushed blackberry and a whiff of ashen stone. Juicy and fresh in style, it offers ripe wild berry fruits that swirl across a stream of vibrant acidity. A cascade of lavender pastille remains as nuances of licorice fade away. - By Eric Guido on July 2025
