Heritage

July 18, 2018 by Corey Ameele

Heritage2017 Heritage

Finger Lakes

In 1974, Andrew Colaruotolo planted a few acres of vines on a hilltop in Fairport, NY with plans to make wine for his friends and family. Almost 45 years later, his vineyard has expanded to over 40 acres and produces of 35 varieties of wine. In honor of Mr. C, we have hand-selected grapes from Block 1, that very first block of our vineyard, to celebrate his legacy and his love of wine.

Viticulture

Grapes.

39% Riesling

31% Chardonnay

18% Vidal Blanc

7% Gewurztraminer

Viticulture notes.  We hand selected 5 different varietals from our oldest block in the vineyard to display the strong flavors and rich history of Casa Larga. The vines were closely tended in order to promote enhanced sun contact and ripening.
