La Fortezza Poolside Rosé Sangria Recipe

Ciao! As you know, we have a new addition to our Joseph's wine selection. We recently added the our own Rosé. It a beautiful Italian-style rosé. It has notes of strawberry and vanilla, and it's the perfect flavor for our new La Fortezza Rosé Sangria recipe. Since we will be opening our brand new pool, we thought a lovely Sangria cocktail would be an amazing idea for our guests to enjoy while lounging at the pool. Our daughter, Alex, came up with the idea. The recipe is adapted from a recipe in Blackberry Magazine. We love it.
