✨ 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
Founded by Walter Channing with initial vineyard plantings dating back to 1982 in Bridgehampton on Long Island's South Fork, Channing Daughters Winery stands as one of New York's most inventive and boundary-pushing artisanal producers. Guided by partner and winemaker Christopher Tracy alongside partner Larry Perrine, the estate champions low-intervention, sustainable viticulture across its distinctive maritime terroir. The winery is celebrated for its remarkably diverse and adventurous portfolio encompassing more than two dozen grape varieties, ranging from skin-contact orange wines like Meditazione and complex field blends like Mosaico to expressive single-vineyard expressions such as L'Enfant Sauvage Chardonnay and Scuttlehole Chardonnay. Through experimental fermentations, pet-nats, and traditional method sparklers, Channing Daughters continues to showcase the dynamic potential and saline elegance of East End winemaking.
