Castello di Amorosa Launches Libero: Innovative Non-Alcoholic Wine Collection
Castello di Amorosa Introduces Libero
In an exciting leap for the wine industry, Castello di Amorosa, the famed Tuscan-style winery nestled in Napa Valley, has unveiled its new line of non-alcoholic wines called Libero. This pioneering collection consists of three distinct varieties: Libero Moscato, Libero Sparkling Bianco, and Libero Cabernet Sauvignon, each designed to cater to a growing demographic that is seeking flavorful, sophisticated options without alcohol.
A Unique Experience for Non-Drinkers
At a time when many non-drinkers find themselves with limited choices, Libero aims to provide a refined experience that feels inclusive and significant. Each tasting session at the winery starts at just $60 per person, offering not only the Libero line but also a selection of Castello's popular grape juices. This innovative inclusion helps ensure no guest feels left out, bringing the joy of wine tasting to everyone, from wellness enthusiasts to expectant parents and the sober-curious community.
Craftsmanship Behind Libero
Winemaker Peter Velleno explained the philosophy behind Libero: “Libero means 'free' in Italian — free to choose, free to savor, and free to celebrate without limits.” To maintain the rich flavors and body typically expected from wines, Castello di Amorosa employs advanced techniques such as spinning cone and vacuum distillation at low temperatures.
For the Moscato, the winery developed an exclusive method utilizing only traditional winemaking components, resulting in a product that reflects the intricate flavors of the estate-grown grapes from Anderson Valley. This approach ensures that the non-alcoholic wines express a pureness that resonates with the winery's commitment to excellence.
Flavor Profiles to Savor
The Libero Moscato presents aromas of geranium, orange blossom, and honeysuckle, layered with delightful flavors of ripe pear, mandarin, and green apple. Similarly, the other varieties in the Libero line are meticulously crafted to maintain complex flavor profiles while excluding alcohol. Each sip reveals the careful attention to detail that Castello di Amorosa is known for.
Tasting Experiences for Everyone
Visitors to Castello di Amorosa can opt for a tasting experience featuring only non-alcoholic options or can combine them with traditional wines for a personalized approach that suits their preferences. As President Georg Salzner noted, “This is about more than just wine. It's about belonging. No guest should feel left out when they visit the Castello.”
Where to Find Libero
The Libero collection is exclusively available for tasting at the winery or for purchase on their website and through phone orders. Castello di Amorosa continues to lead the charge in providing remarkable wine experiences that cater to a diverse audience while promoting inclusivity in the world of wine.
