about us
the story
It all started in 2017 when Philip, and Marco met Italy's second Master of Wine, Andrea Lonardi. Tasting Andrea's outstanding creations immediately inspired them. They wondered if wine jargon always had to be so complex and sometimes boring. While they were still on their way back, they decided to break the rule of the traditional wine world. Two years later, the first bottle was already on the table.
"With animal.wine, wine is easy to drink, to be shared among friends in a friendly atmosphere, pleasure above all. Our wines are always presented in a black bottle with eccentric animal designs on it. They are fruity, accessible, and juicy, crafted with great passion. It's as simple as that!"
