Lemae Group Wines was the vision of our co-founders, Donald L. and Vela Mitchell. Donald who is now deceased, was a chemist and an attorney who loved to “mix things up” in the lab, the kitchen and the courtroom. During a vacation that he and his wife, Vela, took to Portugal with their friends Rory and Gay Wright, the Mitchells met a really cool Portuguese couple during their flight. By the time they all landed in Portugal, the couples had become the best of friends, and Don and Vela were subsequently introduced to Portuguese wines.
Unfortunately, Don passed away in 2009, but not before leaving behind a rich legacy of providing America with a premium selection of European wines. Today, his wife Vela and the Lemae Group Wines team continue to keep his legacy alive by working with some of the finest wine producers in Europe. Our reds are outstanding, and our whites range in taste from mild and fruity, to buttery and easy to drink.
A divinely delicious red wine that embodies the spirit of its producers, who are now in their fourth generation of wine making! The character of this wine, both in its name and in its essence, has for years represented fine Abruzzo wines. Vinum Hannibal is named for the Emperor Hannibal himself. As Hannibal and his armies passed through the Abruzzo region of Italy, they freely partook of the local red wine to take with them on their journeys. In doing so, they spread the reputation of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo wine across Europe.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Red (Montepulciano d’Abruzzo)
Complex, delightful aroma. Smells of forest fruits, wild cherries and liquorice.
