Love and Valentine’s Day in Sicily
Meet 2022 Tenuta Regaleali “Lamùri” Nero d’Avola, a wine whose name quite literally means “love” in a Sicilian dialect. If that doesn’t make it a natural choice for Valentine’s Day, I’m not sure what does.
Lamùri comes from Tenuta Regaleali, one of Sicily’s most historic and respected estates, perched high in the island’s interior where altitude brings freshness and elegance to the wines. This is Nero d’Avola at its most romantic; not brooding or rustic, but supple, expressive, and utterly charming.
In the glass, Lamùri offers ripe red cherries, wild berries, soft spice, and a whisper of Mediterranean herbs. There’s warmth here, but also balance—silky tannins, bright acidity, and a graceful finish that lingers just long enough to make you want another sip. It’s the kind of wine that feels generous and comforting, yet polished enough for a special evening.
This is a perfect Valentine’s bottle whether you’re planning a candlelit dinner, a cozy night in, or simply want to say “I was thinking of you” without saying a word at all. And perhaps best of all? Lamùri delivers all this romance without a heartbreak price tag. It’s proof that love, like great wine, doesn’t have to be extravagant to be meaningful.
This Valentine’s Day, skip the clichés. Pour a glass of Lamùri.
