Description
This is a love letter to the Italian classics, made in the heart of the Adelaide Hills by the natural wine legend, Anton van Klopper. This unique blend of 50% Sangiovese, 30% Barbera, and 20% Nebbiolo is crafted from meticulously sourced, organically farmed fruit: the Sangiovese from the Piccadilly Valley’s 60-year-old Deanery Vineyard (Australia’s oldest), the Barbera from McLaren Vale, and Nebbiolo from Hope Forest.
Fermented carbonically for just four days, the wine is bright and fresh, brimming with vibrant red fruit, wild herbs, and a lively, earthy complexity. Maturation in ceramic eggs adds a rounded texture and allows the pure flavours to shine. Expect a juicy, textured palate with subtle spice, fine tannins, and a refreshing finish – a wine as full of personality as Anton’s trailblazing vision for low-intervention Australian wines.
If you’re dreaming of Tuscany or Piemonte, this Lucy M. blend brings a taste of Italian soul to Aussie soil - bright, bouncy and delicious to the last drop.

"A blend of many parcels that makes a convincing sum of the parts. Another highwater mark from Lucy M from this suite of red releases. Loaded with character, a bustling hive of edgy, red berry fruitiness, crushed rock minerality, alpine herb, pepper, woodsy spice, cola and green olive. Fun is a by word. A thirst quenching red of vigour and pop, a crispness, crunch, textural chew and savouriness deeply inlaid. Frisky red. Fun. Delight!"
