✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted on the South Fork of Long Island, Channing Daughters Petillant Naturel Rosso is a vibrant celebration of the ancient ancestral method. Winemaker Christopher Tracy embraces a low-intervention approach, bottling the wine before its primary fermentation is complete to trap a gentle, natural effervescence. This sparkling red wine reflects the unique maritime terroir of Bridgehampton, where cool ocean breezes preserve bright acidity and fresh fruit flavors. Unfined and unfiltered, the Rosso is delightfully rustic, offering a cloudy ruby-pink hue, lively red berry notes, and a savory, yeasty complexity. It stands as a testament to the winery's pioneering spirit and playful experimentation with diverse grape varieties in New York's East End.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1982 when venture capitalist and sculptor Walter Channing planted his first Chardonnay vines in Bridgehampton, Channing Daughters Winery has evolved into one of the most daring and innovative producers on Long Island's East End. Set on 28 estate acres within the maritime climate of the South Fork, the vineyards thrive in well-drained Bridgehampton silt loam cooled by Atlantic sea breezes and buffered by Peconic Bay. Helmed by partner and winemaker Christopher Tracy alongside partners Larry Perrine and Allison Dubin, the estate is a founding member of Long Island Sustainable Winegrowing. Channing Daughters is celebrated for its polycultural repertoire spanning over two dozen grape varieties and an avant-garde cellar program marked by native fermentations, extensive skin contact, and field blends. Benchmark bottlings include their pioneering Ramato skin-fermented Pinot Grigio, Friulian-inspired whites such as Tocai Friulano and Ribolla Gialla, and intricate cuvées like Meditazione and Envelope.
