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.
