Production
The Barbera vines grow in silt, clay and chalk soils on south and south-west-facing slopes at 250 metres altitude. The Barbera grapes are hand-harvested and undergo selection, before a 6-7 day maceration on the skins. After fermentation, the wine spends over 9 months in stainless steel before bottling
Producer
Castel del Lupo, in the heart of Oltrepograve; Pavese, dates back centuries - and includes the eighteenth-century Palazzo Pegazzera. In 1974 three entrepreneurs took over this historic estate and began a regeneration process. Giovanni Doglio, whose father and grandfather were both Piemontese winemakers, has over 40 years experience managing wineries. Recently joined by his daughter Federica, he has worked tirelessly to develop the estate. They have purchased more vineyards (to cover 100ha at around 300m altitude), planted new vines and built a new cellar. The vineyards are now certified organic. The winery's main focus is high-quality bottle-fermented sparkling wine, and much of the vineyard is planted with Pinot Noir for this purpose. However, these vines are also the source of fine still red wines.
A Note on Sustainability
Led by Giovanni Doglio since 1974, the team at Castel del Lupo is very keen to honour the long heritage of its estate which existed even before its inclusion on a map of the region in 1301. All of Castel del Lupos grapes are estate grown and the 100-hectare property is now fully certified organic to maintain the integrity of the environment, the ecosystem and soil fertility without resorting to artificial substances at any stage of the production processes.

Each case contains one bottle of:
2023 Cuvée Jean-Paul Rouge, IGP Méditerranée (France) A classic southern uncomplicated Rhône red which is deliciously drinkable yet serious enough to accompany food. Rich fruit and an appealing herbal freshness. Lusciously textured with plum, strawberry and a touch of spice. Drink with hearty food such as grilled meats and casseroles. Also great with BLTs, pizzas and mature, hard cheeses.
2024 Da Vero Nero d’Avola (Organic) (Italy) Aromas of ripe black fruit with a hint of spice. The palate has rich plum and bramble fruit, along with savoury and herbal notes, and soft tannins balanced by fresh acidity. Excellent with rich pasta dishes, casseroles and grilled meats
2024 Ancora Sangiovese (Italy) Appealing aromas of fresh red fruit and a touch of black pepper spice. A fresh, medium-bodied style with red and black berry fruit characters, and a hint of spice balanced by tangy acidity. The perfect juicy food wine - with pasta, pizza and tomato sauces.
2023 Camarada Malbec (Argentina) A wine with a conscience! It was bottled using only clean and renewable energy. So you can drink this wine and know that it didn’t ‘cost the earth’ (in more ways than one). It may be a cliché but this big red will go very well with a medium-rare sirloin steak, served with peppercorn sauce or other grilled meats, and pastas.
2023 Ananto Organic Bobal Tempranillo(Spain) A vibrant, fruity organic red from Utiel-Requena, highlighting the region's trendy and indigenous Bobal variety. Bursting with lively aromas of blueberry and blackberry. Juicy plum and spice flavors are enveloped in soft tannins, delivering a smooth and well-balanced finish. Superb with roasts and stews, red meat dishes, small game, cheese or cold meats.
2023 False Bay Bush Vine Pinotage (South Africa) Fresh, plummy aromas with savoury, smoky notes. The palate is ripe and rich with vibrant fruit, slightly rustic yet moreish tannins and a persistent finish. Perfect with pork belly dishes or barbecued meats, boerwurst, game or good, old fashioned sausage and mash.
