Carlo Rossi

Carlo Rossi is a line of California table wines made as non-vintage blends designed for a consistent taste year after year.

Crafted from high-yield grapes with uncomplicated methods, these wines tend to be light to medium in body and easy to sip. Labels often identify the style or color—such as California Red or California White—rather than a single grape variety. The white blend commonly includes Chenin Blanc and French Colombard, offering a smooth texture with mild sweetness. Most selections sit around 9.5%–12% ABV, keeping the alcohol level moderate for casual drinking.

Carlo Rossi’s popularity stems from its affordability, nostalgic vibe, and easy-drinking style.
