WINE DESCRIPTION
Casa Larga Gewürztraminer is a distinguished white wine estate-grown and bottled in the Finger Lakes region. This noble cool-climate grape, one of the first planted by Andrew Colaruotolo at Casa Larga in 1974, originates from Alsace and is celebrated for its aromatic profile featuring floral and spice notes. Despite being pink or light red in color, Gewürztraminer produces a beautifully perfumed white wine, sharing an aroma compound with lychees. The viticulture of this winter-sensitive yet vigorous vine requires meticulous care to express its subtle flavors. Fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures, the wine undergoes skin contact for several hours to extract its characteristic rose petal and lychee aromas. A small amount of juice is added before bottling to enhance body, aroma, and balance. Casa Larga Gewürztraminer exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship and unique terroir of the Finger Lakes.
