3 stella rosa wine
STELLA ROSA IS CALIFORNIA’S FAVORITE WINE.
Stella Rosa might not command such solemn respect as more “serious” wines, but its bottles are the best-selling wines in California. Which, considering Stella’s intentionally lighter style and some of the beefier output from the Napa Valley, is kind of like selling out of beef jerky in a steakhouse.
IT’S ALSO AMERICA’S FAVORITE ITALIAN WINE IMPORT.
Stella Rosa’s popularity wins don’t stop in California. It’s also the No. 1 imported Italian wine brand in the U.S.
STELLA ROSA IS A FAMILY BRAND.
The Riboli family has been making wine for four generations (and somehow works together amicably enough to take pictures like this). Santo Cambianica came to America in 1910, and after founding the San Antonio Winery in 1917 (where Stella Rosa was born, see below), he eventually handed over the reins to his nephew and apprentice Stefano Riboli. With no major hiccups (or only the good, wine-related kind), the intergenerational winemaking harmony has persisted to this day.
STELLA ROSA WAS BORN IN LOS ANGELES WINE COUNTRY…
Before Los Angeles became the home of movie stars, pet psychics, and the TMZ tour bus, it was actually the seat, and indeed birthplace, of California wine country. The city of stars is also where Stella Rosa was born: The Riboli family founded the San Antonio Winery in L.A. in 1917.
