2022 Eye of the Swan Reserve Aleatico Rosé, Sonoma Valley
Double Best of Class Awards!
- In 1975, Sam and his father August Sebastiani created the first “Eye of the Swan” rosé wine. Sam Sebastiani’s La Chertosa “Eye of the Swan” is more than a bottle of wine. It serves as a tribute to his family’s effort to preserve age-old techniques of winemaking. “Our Eye of the Swan is very personal for me,” explained Sam. “It reminds me of spending time with my father, learning about winemaking and waterfowl. Those are happy memories that have warmed me all my life.”
- This unique wine is created from a rare Italian varietal called Aleatico, a red-skinned grape with clear juice. The grapes were harvested by hand from the esteemed Serres Ranch. The wine’s magnificent coppery color, so like the eyes of the Australian Black Swan, is created by quickly separating the flowing juice from the color-laden skins. Aleatico grapes are unmistakable, boasting intense floral aromas and strawberry notes along with honey-like Muscat characteristics. In almost 50 years since that first bottling, this handsome version is a perfect match for festive foods, full-bodied and delicious. Only 125 cases were bottled of this special wine.
