Lupo Meraviglia Tre di Tre Rosso is a 750ml Italian red blend from the sun-drenched vineyards of Puglia, in southern Italy.

Quick Facts: Type: Red Blend  |  Origin: Puglia, Italy  |  Style: Multi-Grape Rosso  |  Size: 750ml

Production & Heritage

Puglia occupies the heel of the Italian boot, where warm Mediterranean breezes, abundant sunshine, and limestone-rich soils create ideal conditions for deeply pigmented, fruit-forward red grapes. The region is home to indigenous varieties such as Primitivo, Negroamaro, and Nero di Troia, all of which are commonly used in local red blends. The "Tre di Tre" designation points to a purposeful blending philosophy — combining three grape varieties to achieve a balanced, layered rosso that showcases the warmth and generosity Puglia is known for. Lupo Meraviglia, whose name evokes the image of a "marvelous wolf," positions this wine as an approachable yet characterful expression of southern Italian winemaking.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Ripe dark cherry and blackberry emerge first, followed by subtle dried herb and a faint earthy undertone. With air, gentle spice notes and a hint of sun-dried tomato leaf add complexity typical of warm-climate Puglia reds.

Taste: The entry is soft and generous, with juicy red and black fruit dominating the front palate. Mid-palate, the wine develops a savory, gently tannic structure with notes of plum, baked fig, and a whisper of dried Mediterranean herbs. The overall impression is round and warm without being heavy.

Finish: Medium in length with a smooth, lightly grippy texture. Lingering impressions of dark berry fruit and a subtle minerality carry through to the close.

How to Drink Tre di Tre Rosso

This Puglia red drinks well at a light cellar temperature of around 60–65°F (16–18°C), poured into a standard red wine glass to allow the fruit-driven aromatics to open up. It suits casual, everyday drinking with food, though it also holds up on its own as a simple sipper. For a refreshing warm-weather option, a brief 15-minute chill in the refrigerator can brighten the fruit. It also works in red wine sangria, lending generous dark fruit character; in a Kalimotxo (red wine and cola), where its bold fruit stands up to the mixer; and in a classic mulled wine preparation during colder months, as its warmth and fruit density pair naturally with spice infusions.

Best For

• Weeknight Italian dinners with pasta, pizza, or grilled sausage
• Introducing someone to southern Italian red blends
• Casual gatherings where an easy-drinking, crowd-pleasing red is needed
• Building a starter collection of Italian regional wines
