For me, it starts with the beverages, so …get ready to pop open summer in a bottle and taste the magic of America’s favorite semi-sweet, semi-sparkling wine, Stella Rosa! Delicious new flavors bursting with summer fruits will have your taste buds singing…like Stella Rosa Tropical Mango, Red Apple, and classic Stella Rosa Peach! There’s also a new Stella Rosa Rosé, perfect for summer, with juicy notes of fresh berries. Enjoy all these wines chilled or on the rocks. You could even make delicious sangria or cocktails with them. For fun recipes, go to stellarosa.com.
