Ocarossa Cuvee Rosso
from $5.99
Trader Joe's Ocarossa Cuvee Rosso from Italy. This is a soft dry medium bodied red wine with cherry notes. It's not made with Sangiovese grapse but is made with Ciliegiolo (Chee-leh-jolo) grapes, known in the wine world as either a parent grape to Sangiovese, or one of its offspring. Because it's related I'm putting this wine here 🙂
