Casa Larga Releases 5 New Wines

The five new wines are: 2011 Dry Rose, 2009 Oak Reserve Pinot Noir, 2009 Pinot Noir, Tapestry and Red and White Sangrias. Three of the wines have already been awarded at competitions. The 2009 Pinot Noir won a Silver medal at the 2012 Tasters Guild International Wine Tasting, Dry Rose was awarded Silver for the 2012 New York State Fair and Tapestry received Gold in 2011 at the New York Wine and Food Classic. 

 

A light bodied wine with brilliant ruby color, dark cherry characteristics, subtle flavors of tart apples and a soft finish. This wine is the initial rose wine produced by Casa Larga’s founder, Mr. Colaruotolo, created to be reminiscent of wines produced from his family’s vineyard in Italy. 

 

This wine pairs well with grilled anchovies, pork or shrimp, steamed crab, barbecue, parmesan cheese, egg dishes, green salads, prosciutto and melon, strawberries and raspberries and summer picnic fair.

 

$8.99 per bottle

 

A medium bodied Pinot Noir with a dry, ripe finish and flavors of dark cherry, vanilla, and raspberries with a slight hint of smoke. It pairs well with grilled tuna, veal chops or salmon, sautéed greens, lasagna, aged goat cheese, tart cherries and tomatoes or tomato sauces. 

 

$18.99 per bottle

 

This is a very fruit-forward pinot, with berry fruit and dark cherries. A slight hint of oak gives it a  wonderful complexity and a rich mouth feel. Pair it with mushroom risotto and mushroom sauces, grilled sausages or scallops, Brie or Gruyere cheeses, and vegetables like beets, eggplant, and even fennel!

 

 

$14.99 per bottle

 

This light bodied red wine gets its color from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The wine is made in a semi-dry rose style and has generous cranberry and raspberry flavors and a mild tannin finish.  The complex aromas suggest dark fruits and light oak. Excellent with roasted lamb shank or honey glazed ham.

 

$8.99 per bottle

 

These light-bodied, fruity wines can be served chilled or over ice with fresh fruit. They pair well with fruit, light summer fare, pepperjack cheese, fried calamari, spicy meatballs, or raspberry vinegrette salad with beans and fruit salads.  

 

$8.99 per 750 ml bottle
