Paolo Petrilli 'Motta del Lupo' Rosso

Paolo Petrilli’s certified organic estate in Southern Italy fosters healthy grapes as well as some of the best tomatoes grown in all of Italy. His Motta del Lupo is both certified organic and vegan, but most importantly, it’s certified delicious! A blend of Sangiovese, Montepulciano, and Nero di Troia, this is a wine of contrasts. It’s big and full flavored yet fresh and smooth. And though it goes down quite easy, it also offers a level of complexity rarely encountered in a sub-$15 bottle of wine. Dark cherry, raspberry, lavender, violet, and white pepper all make an appearance in the bouquet and flavor profile of this one. Drink this with whatever that tiny Italian grandmother tells you to pair it with!
