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 2015 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 2015 Rosso Fresco was fermented wild/ambiently and was not fined and filtered once. The wine spent eight months in all older oak barrels before bottling. Our 2015 Rosso Fresco is a very versatile red wine and will bring you year-round pleasure. The wine was handled minimally and bottled by gravity on June 18th, 2016. Enjoy our 2015 Rosso Fresco at cellar temperature over the next two to four years.
