Description

The Lamoresca Rosso is a wine made for drinking with gusto.

It's a bright, fleet-footed red blend of Frappato, Nero d'Avola 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.

    good drop

    pure modern Sicilian style, chill very slightly in the fridge for 15 minutes before serving, just pleasant with a plate of antipasti under shaded tree

A selection of Frappato, Nero d’Avola and Grenache from forty year old vines in Filippo’s home vineyard, planted over clay and sand at an elevation of 430 metres. This ferments with the skins in plastic containers for a month before being pressed off to concrete for a year of élevage. It is a wine that feels resolutely Mediterranean, with soft tannins and flavours of dark fruit, flowers and woody herbs.

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 of 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, and 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.
