Great wine for the cost. I've served this bottle at a few dinner parties and I've never had a disappointed guest.

  Fontanafredda Briccotondo Barbera 2007 - 5/7/2009
I would not buy this wine again
I put no that I would not buy this wine again. However, it should be a maybe. I feel this wine has to sit for a few years as it is quite young. I like a big, bold taste in my Barbera and this does not seem to have it at this time. It does not compare to California Barberas.

  A Superb, Big Italian Red - 12/27/2008
I would buy this wine again
This is a big red, jammy with huge body. Fantastic for pairing with any bold dish, lasagna, pasta with Bolognese sauce, roasted pork, you get the picture. Drinks like many wines twice its price.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine
