BENEVENTANO COLLE DEI LUPI ROSSO I.G.T.

The Colle dei Lupi Rosso, translated from Italian as “Hills of Wolves,” is a Southern Italian table wine produced in the Sannio Beneventano area. Renowned for both wolves and wine, these hills nurture many varieties of heirloom vines used in wine production.

The Colle dei Lupi Rosso is a delicious red wine made from a blend of Barbera and Aglianico grapes. With its rich cherry color and bouquet of smooth, mellow fruits, the Colle dei Lupi Rosso is easy, fun and above all, drinkable. Our Colle dei Lupi is a responsive table wine that pairs well with many pasta dishes and spicy pizzas.

This medium-bodied wine possesses lively flavors of dark cherries and mountain herbs, leading to a rustic, dry finish.
