From the Winery:
Yummy! This is the first word we wrote down when writing the notes about our new 2008 vintage of Rosso Fresco. Rosso Fresco is an easy-going red blend whose varieties and proportions change with each vintage. The 2008 version is comprised of 58% Merlot, 28% Syrah, 10% Petit Verdot and 4% Dornfelder. There are aromas and flavors of black raspberry, black cherry, plum, spice and earth. This dry red wine is medium-bodied, has moderate 12.9% alcohol, balanced acid, very soft, silky tannins and a juicy persistent finish. This fun, friendly red wine pairs well with pastas and just about any fish, fowl or four-legged food you serve with it. The 2008 Rosso Fresco has a North Fork of Long Island AVA, and is made from hand-harvested grapes from the Mudd and Mudd West vineyards which were de-stemmed, crushed by foot and punched down by hand. This wine was handled minimally and bottled by gravity. We bottled 1226 cases of this wine as well as filling twenty 5 gallon kegs for restaurants to serve by the glass. This could be the wave of the future for by-the-glass programs as it reduces the cost of the wine, is better for the environment and saves on space and waste issues! Our 2008 Rosso Fresco is a very versatile red wine and will bring you year round pleasure. If you are drinking Rosso Fresco in the intense heat of the summer, try putting a slight chill on the wine and watch how it blossoms with the food from your grill!
