Rosé only became a part of the Trattore repertoire when Michelle, our former GM, challenged Tim to produce one. It took betting her wages on pink wine, and the gamble paid off beyond all expectations. The release of our first Rosé in 2010 was awarded the New York International Rosé of the Year. The tradition continues today in her honor, and the bottle bears her name.
Our 2023 Michelle's Grenache Rosé is crisp and refreshing with a delicious nose of rhubarb and strawberry. Hints of white peach, citrus, and a crisp apple delight the palate finishing with bright acidity.
