One of the state’s largest grape growers (managing more than 300 acres), Luna Rossa is also one of New Mexico’s foremost wine producers. Showing particular expertise with Italian grape varieties Luna Rossa’s Reserve Aglianico is a particular stunner. Brick red in color, with orange-tinted edges, this wine shows a well-developed age with notes of dried black cherry, fig, leather and mushroom wrapped in firm, yet giving tannin.
