Quick Facts: ABV: 5%  |  Origin: Asti, Piedmont, Italy  |  Semi-Sweet Semi-Sparkling White Wine  |  Producer: Cantine Capetta (CA.I.VI.P Spa) for San Antonio Winery

Production & Heritage

Stella Rosa wines are produced in Piedmont by Cantine Capetta (formally CA.I.VI.P Spa) and imported under the San Antonio Winery label. The base wine draws from a proprietary blend of white grape varietals anchored by White Moscato, an indigenous Piedmontese variety prized for its aromatic intensity. After harvest, the grapes are pressed, centrifuged, and held as cold juice at 28°F, then fermented in controlled intervals throughout the year to preserve freshness and delicacy. The pineapple character comes from natural flavors produced through a natural distillation process, distinguishing it from artificially flavored competitors. At just 5% ABV, the wine retains a light, approachable body that leans into refreshment rather than complexity.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh-cut pineapple leads immediately, followed by subtle honey and white flower notes inherited from the Moscato base. There is a gentle tropical sweetness on the nose that stays bright rather than cloying.

Taste: The entry is juicy and pineapple-forward, with soft effervescence lifting the fruit across the mid-palate. A light tanginess from the pineapple infusion counterbalances the semi-sweet Moscato foundation, while faint peach and floral undertones add depth. The wine's low alcohol keeps the texture nimble and easy-drinking.

Finish: Short to medium in length, with a smooth, fruity fade and lingering tropical sweetness. The fine bubbles persist through the close, leaving a clean, refreshing impression.

How to Drink Stella Rosa Pineapple

Well-chilled is essential — serve directly from the can or pour over ice for maximum refreshment. The low ABV and portable format make it a natural warm-weather sipper straight from a cooler.

• Wine Spritzer: Top with a splash of soda water and a lime wheel — the existing effervescence doubles down into a lively, hydrating drink.
• Tropical Sangria: Combine with diced mango, passion fruit, and a measure of coconut rum — the pineapple base provides a ready-made fruity foundation.
• Bellini Riff: Use in place of traditional Prosecco with peach purée — the pineapple and peach notes from the Moscato blend create a tropical twist on the Italian classic.

Best For

• Beach, pool, or picnic outings where glass bottles aren't practical

Why Stella Rosa Pineapple?

What separates this expression from the crowded flavored-wine field is the Piedmontese Moscato backbone and the natural distillation process used to create its pineapple character — most competitors rely on artificial flavorings or lower-quality base wines. The cold-held juice and staggered fermentation schedule preserve a freshness that many mass-market fruit wines sacrifice. At 5% ABV in a portable can format, it occupies a practical niche between still cocktails and full-strength wines, making it genuinely useful for occasions where moderation and portability matter. For drinkers who want real Italian wine credentials alongside bold tropical flavor, Stella Rosa Pineapple delivers without pretense.
