Stella Rosa and Ribioli Family Wines have launched a new flavored brandy line that consists of ‘Stella Rosa Smooth Black,’ ‘Tropical Passion,’ and ‘Honey Peach Brandy.’ The spirit is said to be "The Spirit of Stella Rosa," and is produced using ripe, fresh fruits from the hills of Italy. Each spirit is crafted in small batches that utilize Italian production techniques for rich, smooth, and pure flavors. The company suggests that consumers enjoy Stella Rosa Brandy neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail made with lemon juice, simple syrup, and muddled blackberries.
"Stella Rosa is always looking for innovative ways to give our customers the products they want," says Steve Riboli. "Our Stella Rosa Brandy portfolio brings three unique fruit-forward flavors we know customers will embrace."
