A new vintage of Rosso Fresco is out and we are stoked! We open the bottle, pour a glass...swirl, sniff, taste...and "Wow...Fun, Fresh, Delish and again So Damn Good!" These are usually the first words out when writing the notes about a new vintage of Rosso Fresco and it rings true again for this 2021 vintage. Rosso Fresco is an easy-going red blend whose varieties and proportions change with each harvest. The 2021 version is comprised of 58% Merlot, 3% Syrah, 15% Dornfelder, 13% Blaufrankisch, 10% Refosco and 1% Teroldego. There are beautiful high-toned aromas and flavors of red cherry, blackberry, red raspberry, red plum, red currant, spice and earth. This dry red wine is medium-bodied, has moderate (just under 12%) alcohol, balanced acid, very soft, silky tannins and a juicy persistent finish. Rosso Fresco is a playful, full-flavored, fun, friendly red wine that pairs well with pastas and just about any fish, fowl or four-legged food you serve with it. The 2021 Rosso Fresco has a Long Island AVA and is made from hand-harvested grapes from both the North and the South Forks. All the grapes were de-stemmed, crushed by foot and punched down by hand. Our 2021 Rosso Fresco was fermented wild/ambiently, was not fined, and was filtered once. The wine spent eight months in stainless steel tanks and older oak barrels before bottling. Our 2021 Rosso Fresco is a very versatile red wine and will bring you year-round pleasure. The wine was handled minimally, as always. Enjoy our 2021 Rosso Fresco at cellar temperature over the next two to six years. It’s delightful with a slight chill on it if it’s hot out! Irresistible, this is a crushable, crunchy, delicious and multi-purpose red wine! We bottled 868 cases of this fragrant, useful and amazingly yummy wine. Stock up now!
