La Vigna Estate Winery is happy to announce two new releases of our wine.

2012 Carnevale

Rosato di Cabernet Franc

This crisp, light-bodied rosato is the perfect wine for sipping on a hot summer day. Dry, fruity and slightly mango hued (Provence Wine Council Color Scale), this wine is the product of hand harvested Cabernet Franc crushed and soaked 18 hours before press. Fermented in stainless steel tanks. The crisp, cool flavors of a well-balanced rosato pair well with grilled, steamed or poached fish, lobster, and risotto. Bottled with minimal intervention, or manipulation to capture the “somewhereness” of La Vigna.

2010 La Vigna Proprietary Red

Cabernet Blend

The declaration of Proprietary Red signals a wine crafted exclusively from Bordeaux grape varieties and is considered the very best of La Vigna. Elegant and refined, this beautiful vintage unfolds on the palate in incremental layers of flavors. Aged 26 months in American/French Oak barrels. Bottled with minimal intervention, or manipulation to capture the ”somewhereness” of La Vigna.

The Unwind Wine Bar in Hyde Park is now having a wine tasting this Saturday, January 26 with 3 tastings from La Vigna Estate Winery from Georgetown, OH.

2011 Proprietary White

100% Petit Manseng

The ultra-premium white varietal of southwest France. A rich, exotic dry white with aromas of white flowers and herbal notes. On the palate, flavors of citrus, almonds, and apricots, with a long bracing finish. Bottled with minimal intervention, or manipulation to capture the “somewhereness” of La Vigna.

Petit Manseng is an old variety, famous for being the only wine used to baptize the royal child, Henry IV. Grown in the Jurancon region of southwest France at the foot of the Pyrenees, it makes what Jancis Robinson eloquently describes as “one of France’s unusually underrated treasures, Jurancon Moelleux, a seductively juicy, sweet, long-lived white.”

Ingredients: Petit Manseng grapes(estate grown from our 2011 vintage) and sulfur dioxide

In the winemaking process, the following were utilized:

Cultured yeast, and bentonite (clay)
