Stella Rosa Smooth Black is an Italian brandy from the northern Italian foothills, infused with natural blackberry, blueberry and raspberry flavors and bottled at 70 proof (35% ABV).
Stella Rosa is a Riboli family brand, and its brandies are crafted in small batches and imported from northern Italy, in Piedmont. The brand pitches its brandies as the bridge from American brandy to Cognac: smooth, fruit-flavored and made for those who like things a little sweeter.
Stella Rosa Brandy was the first line of spirits from Stella Rosa, America's number one imported wine, and its parent company Riboli Family Wines, a Los Angeles family winery founded in 1917 and named Wine Enthusiast's 2018 American Winery of the Year. The line launched in September 2022 with Smooth Black, Tropical Passion and Honey Peach, fronted by Grammy-winning singer Brandy, and is made from high-quality grapes grown in Northern Italy.
Smooth Black starts with a rich, bold Italian brandy, which is then infused with the flavors of ripe blackberry, blueberry and raspberry, using 100% natural ingredients. It finishes smooth.
Rich and bold, it brings ripe blackberry, blueberry and raspberry over smooth Italian brandy, a little sweeter than a classic brandy and easy to sip at 35% ABV.
Try it chilled on the rocks, poured over ice, or shaken with your favorite flavor pairings: it is lovely with lemonade, in a berry sour, or topped with sparkling wine. The decanter-style bottle with its crown motif makes it an easy gift.
