At an average of about 1100’ elevation, with its reddish volcanic soils filled with rock and iron, Monte Rosso speaks clearly and firmly as to its sense of place. Try visualizing those pioneering laborers digging into a remote Californian mountainside simply to grow delicious wine. To Biale, Monte Rosso® is a national treasure and we are proud to be one of the fortunate winemakers since 1995 to craft a classic from this rare repository of some of America’s most historic grapevines. Long live Monte Rosso®!

Dense and concentrated, this wine from a storied mountaintop vineyard calls for mushroom risotto or osso buco since its grippy tannins and wonderful, dried-fruit flavors are great foils for rich dishes. A deep color leads to generous oak-spice notes over powerful blackberry and raspberry flavors.
