Rosella's Vineyard
As third generation Santa Lucia Highlands growers, our wine grapes enjoy a reputation among California’s most coveted. With the release of ROAR WINES, we combine our pedigree as grape growers with our passion for the finished product and we pay homage to the Monterey winds – called “howlers” by the locals – that give our vineyards their signature character.
For updates from the vineyards and winery and to get pre-release access to our limited production Pinot Noir and Syrah, please take a moment to join the ROAR mailing list.
Cheers, Gary & Rosella Franscioni
