THE WINE
Lenaia was born from the desire to create a wine that is free-spirited, spontaneous and deeply connected to the pleasure of sharing.
Its name recalls the ancient Greek festivals dedicated to Dionysus, the god of wine, during which wine played a central role in celebrations and moments of togetherness.
The combination of Malbec, Syrah and Petit Verdot creates a red wine full of nuances, bringing together aromatic intensity, freshness and a pleasant softness.
Ageing exclusively in stainless steel preserves the fruity character and vibrancy of the grapes, highlighting a youthful and approachable expression of the wine.
Lenaia is made for sharing, perfect for accompanying a meal or enjoying life's simplest moments, where the pleasure of being together takes centre stage.
