Natalie's Score: 89/100

Monte del Frà Bardolino is a fantastic value red blend of Sangiovese, Corvina, and Rondinella, priced at just $18. This dry, medium-bodied wine offers a fresh and vibrant profile, often dubbed "baby Valpolicella" due to its proximity to the Veneto’s renowned wine-growing region. The wine delights with flavours of sweet dried strawberry, raspberry, red plum, and a touch of dried herbs, leading to a long, refreshing red berry finish. It’s an excellent match for a meaty pizza or a classic antipasto platter with cured meats and cheeses.

Food pairings: meaty pizza, lasagne, rich tomato sauce and pasta.
