Napa Valley Rosato
((( back
Now a staple in the portfolio, 2007 marks the 5th vintage that we Buoncristiani
Brothers have crafted a crisp, fruit forward & bone-dry Rosé
that is delicious for all occasions. With Syrah as the unique variety
of choice to craft this pink puppy, our Rosato continues to prove its
fantastic versatility; perfect in settings ranging from black ties to
flip-flops, compatible with so many hors d’oeuvres and entrees,
and capable of enticing a smile at brunch, lunch, and dinner during
all 4 seasons. As always, we remind you to avoid being “pinkwineaphobic”
or you’ll miss out on this extremely limited crowd pleaser.
On
a slightly more technical note, our Rosato blend is comprised of Syrah
fruit sourced from vineyards in Oak Knoll and Coombsville areas of Napa
Valley as well as Stagecoach Vineyard above Oakville. The components
of this Syrah Rosé were fermented in 40% stainless steel and
60% neutral French oak barrels. Primary fermentation was allowed to
complete to dryness, while secondary fermentation was suppressed to
preserve the crisp acidity and vibrant fruit. This 2007 Rosato was bottled
after only 5 months of barrel aging in order to capture the essence
of the Syrah fruit profile of ripe raspberry, floral perfume, exotic
spices, and black cherry, while ensuring proper timing for spring parties
and summer BBQ’s.
We,
the Buoncristiani brothers, take pride in performing all aspects of
enology, viticulture, wine production, marketing, and package design
in order to share with you a true expression of our winemaking passion.
We hope you join us in embracing great pink wine by raising a glass
of chilled Rosato with your family and friends. Cin Cin!
