Stella Rosa Pineapple Chili

Product Description

Stella Rosa Pineapple Chili: Sweet Pineapple with a Kiss of Italian Chili

Stella Rosa Pineapple & Chili is a semi-sweet, semi-sparkling white wine from Piedmont, Italy, made primarily from Moscato d’Asti grapes with natural pineapple flavors and a hint of Italian chili. It was the first of Stella Rosa’s Spicy Series and, per VinePair, the best-selling new wine of 2023. The brand sums it up as “a little sweet and a little heat”: ripe pineapple up front and a kiss of chili on the finish.

It’s light and low in alcohol at 5% ABV, so it’s easy to sip and easy to share, and it’s gluten-free. Serve it well-chilled or over ice. The pineapple is the star, and the chili stays gentle, so it’s a good first step into spicy wine. It’s also a cocktail wine: try the brand’s Spicy Pineapple Margarita with 3 ounces of the wine, 1.5 ounces of silver tequila, half an ounce of Cointreau, and half an ounce of lime juice, with a pineapple wedge. Stella Rosa recommends it with chips and guacamole, salsa, fish tacos, and tacos in general.
