Chiaretto

Chiaretto Wine Details
Price: $14.95 per bottle

Description: Full of berry flavors and a touch of sweetness make it a perfect compliment to a variety of foods. Aged in stainless steel and made from Chambourcin and St. Vincent grapes.

Varietal Definition
Chambourcin:
A french-american hybrid used to make red wines with fruity flavors and some herbaceousness. Grown in the cooler regions of Eastern U.S. and Canada. Decreasing acreages also found in Europe; due to stringent European Union rules these varieties cannot be blended with traditional varieties.
Vincent:
This variety has high acidity, when fermented it produces a well-balanced dry red table wine. The wine has a deep blue-red color when young, but when aged the blue pigment is deposited & the wine becomes quite stable.
