Weinbewertung – Lupo Meraviglia Tre di Tre 2022

Der Lupo Meraviglia Tre di Tre 2022 ist ein charaktervoller Rotwein aus Apulien, der bereits beim ersten Einschenken mit seiner tief rubinroten Farbe beeindruckt. Die Cuvée, die aus drei regionaltypischen Rebsorten (Primitivo, Negroamaro und Malvasia Nera) besteht, bringt das Beste Süditaliens ins Glas.

In der Nase dominieren intensive Aromen von reifen dunklen Früchten wie Pflaumen und schwarzen Kirschen, begleitet von würzigen Noten – etwas Vanille, ein Hauch Kakao und ein wenig mediterrane Kräuter.

Am Gaumen zeigt sich der Wein vollmundig und weich, mit runden Tanninen und einer angenehmen, warmen Struktur. Der Alkohol ist präsent, aber gut eingebunden. Die Frucht bleibt im Vordergrund, wird aber durch leichte Röstaromen und eine feine Würze ergänzt. Der Abgang ist lang und harmonisch.

Fazit: Ein kraftvoller, aber zugänglicher Wein mit viel Charakter. Gute Preis-Leistung aus dem Süden Italiens. — 3 days ago

A decent entry-level “Super Tuscan.” I’m curious about its cellaring potential given the WS review below.

WS: 90. Flavors of cherry, strawberry, sanguine, iron and Mediterranean scrub are supported by a solid structure in this red, which is balanced overall, with dusty tannins and a resonant finish. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2026 through 2040. 27,500 cases made, 10,200 cases imported.

Crafted from premier vineyard sites in Russian River Valley, this 100% Pinot Noir captures the hallmark vibrancy of the region. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in French oak, the wine is beautifully balanced, offering layers of blackberry, raspberry, and subtle toasty oak.

Medium-plus in body with moderate tannins, the mouthfeel is smooth, polished, and appetizing from start to finish. It’s drinking beautifully now, but has the structure to evolve gracefully over the next 5–7 years. A confident, fruit-forward Pinot with elegance and aging potential. Cheers! — a month ago

A standout vintage that reflects both elegance and power, the 2022 Reserve Cab is a masterfully detailed expression of Napa Valley. On the nose, it’s rich and complex, black cherry, blueberry, spearmint, cocoa, and coffee swirl with subtle notes of violet, vanilla, and cassis.

The palate follows with ripe blackberry, dark chocolate, baking spice, and refined toasty oak. Full-bodied and multi-layered, it delivers great acidity, polished tannins, and impressive age-worthiness, easily 15+ years. Crafted under the expert hand of Tony Biaggi, this wine is a bold yet graceful benchmark for modern Napa Cabernet. Simply lovely! — a month ago

Some blackberry, Smokey notes, so soft in the mouth. Went very well with risotto and sausage. I have to think that’s the pairing in Piedmont for most people. The average Italian there ain’t drinking Barbaresco every night. — 2 months ago

2021 vintage. A bit of everything. Esteemed producer. Excellent nose. Front-palate richness. Mid-palate power and presence. Pleasantly astringent and beyond substantial finish. I usually eschew Barbera d'Alba for the resto list but couldn't deny this one. Picked up two cases and may pick up more to have laying around for 1.5-2 years. At the ridiculous resto price of $26.67, I can't afford not to. So delicious. 01.29.25. — 5 months ago
