Tomasello Ranier Red American

Tomasello Ranier Red is a moderately sweet red wine with the taste of freshly picked grapes. It is very fruity and intense in its grape character and is made primarily from the Native American grape Concord. Tomasello Winery's vineyards are in the Atlantic and Camden counties of New Jersey. The vines grow in a sandy loam soil with a clay bottom. The soil is somewhat acidic (have you ever tasted the famous Jersey Tomato?) which benefits the acidity of the wine. Climate is Region 3 on the Davis scale. We currently have 70 acres under vine, with more than 30 different varieties of grapes including native American, French hybrid and Vinifera. Throughout our 75 year history we have constantly experimented with new varietals to see which varietals are best suited to our location and which produce the highest quality wines. New varietals in our vineyards include Sangiovese, Shiraz, and Petit Verdot.
