Don’t let the squat packaging fool you — this is a big bomber of a wine from the heel of the boot in southern Italy, with alluring raisin box character on the nose, supple tannins and easy oak tones carrying dark berry fruit through a long finish. This is lush and delicious from beginning to end, and it delivers quality way above its price point. Lupo Meraviglia’s Tre di Tre is a blend of Negroamaro, Aglianico and Primitivo.
