Carlo Rossi California Red
Tasting Notes
A non-vintage light red with aromas of strawberries and figs. The tannins are ripe, soft and with freshness on the finish. A soft sweetness on the finish. Enjoy this cool or slightly chilled. The late Charles “Carlo” Rossi started as a salesman for E & J Gallo Winery in 1953 alongside family friend Ernest Gallo. A TV and radio personality, Carlo Rossi talked about his good, honest wines for people to share. He famously said “I like to talk about wine, but I’d rather drink it”. They did!
