ORGANIC : Zinfandel
FULL-BODIED, DARK CHERRY, PLUM, BRAMBLE, BAKING SPICE, NEUTRAL OAK
Named for the four members of Alexandra Schrecengost's family — Alex, Troy, Sean, and Rome — Altrosero is equal parts wine and story. Schrecengost, a Black woman entrepreneur and former communications director at fine wine importer Wilson Daniels, launched the brand in 2021 with the conviction that wine should bring more people to the table, not fewer.
The 2021 vintage from Sonoma Valley arrived after a punishing drought year — low rainfall, smaller berries, concentrated clusters. The result is a wine that carries the weight of a full-bodied Zinfandel without losing its composure: dark fruit and baking spice balanced by the juicy acidity that keeps another pour feeling necessary.
PAIRINGS :
| Smoked brisket | dark fruit cuts the smoke; holds against the richness |
| Wood-fired pizza with sausage and peppers | bramble and spice echo the char on the crust |
| Spicy lamb curry | juicy acidity tempers the heat; fruit fills the gap |
