About The Wine
The Lamoresca Rosso is a wine made for drinking with gusto.
It's a bright, fleet-footed red blend of Nero d'Avola, Frappato, and Grenache.
The fruit is lovingly farmed by husband and wife team, Filippo and Nancy Rizzo. They see this as a blend of some of their best fruit.
It's a ripe, plump, sunny red wine that shows a cavalcade of red berries, plums and exotic spice.
If you're looking for a charming Italian table wine with a bit of an edge, this will light up any dinner table.
About Lamoresca
Lamoresca was built from the ground up by the hands of Filippo and Nancy Rizzo.
The two had a passion for natural wines and growing things organically. After years spreading the good word of natural wine in retail and hospitality in Belgium, the two moved to Sicily and bought a farm populated with 46 ancient olive trees.
Now their farm, located 50km from the nearest vineyard, produces some of the most compelling, vibrant, and thirst-slaking wines in Sicily.
Their reds are bright, crunchy and have a real sense of life to them, the white is saline and exotic. These are wines of rare character and great energy. Pure, natural, and fundamentally delicious to the last drop.

Critic Reviews
"Baked plums, fermented vegetable lift, and while it presents better to taste, with dark fruit and dried herb, plush tannin and almost dark cherry and chocolate flavour, it’s just a bit too edgy and raw to get over the line for me. Silty tannin and ‘minerally’ feel on the finish is good, mind you, but something of an ‘enthusiasts wine’ here, if you get my drift." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price. If you see a price lower somewhere else let us know and we'll consider matching it. We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
