I was first introduced to Fonte Al Sole at a dinner party in San Francisco. My first impression was that it was soft, delicate and flavorful. The blend just seemed perfect for me. When I returned home I bought the last two bottles in the local wine store and introduced it to my friends. Now Ruffino has several new clients. Great wines!

A Customer - madison, wi
this wine performed very well all on it's own. it was full without being heavy. it was fruit forward but not "syrupy". this is a wonderful wine for warm weather outdoor dinner parties. it goes with practically anything...for a great price!
