Stella Rosa Watermelon Semi-Sweet Rose Wine is a proprietary blend of several white grape varietals including White Moscato (an indigenous grape variety from Piedmont, Italy), and a touch of barbera for color. The rose wine has natural flavors of watermelon that are created using a distillation process of Italian fruits grown in southern Italy. The grapes are harvested, pressed, centrifuged, and then held cold as juice at 28 degrees Fahrenheit. The juice is fermented at various intervals throughout the year allowing the wine to remain fresh and delicate. The Riboli family uses this technique to create an off-dry Rose, busting with fresh flavors and natural carbonation. During fermentation, the alcohol is created in tandem with the wine’s natural carbonation. Once the desired sweetness is achieved, the wine is centrifuged and bottled. Its natural acidity and low pH strike the perfect balance with the wine’s inherent sweetness. It is not cloying or heavy. Serve chilled by the glass, pour over ice, or mix with your favorite spirit for an all-natural, fruit-forward cocktail.
