A bright and fresh, juicy Bardolino under and a great value from the Veneto wine region. Bright red berry, blood orange zest, savoury herb flavours and smoky on the palate. Tannins are fine. Very approachable now.

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

Reviews and Ratings

Monte Del Frá Bardolino 2017 is well-priced under $20. From the Veneto wine region, Bardolino is often referred to as "baby Valpolicella" as that viticultural zone is right beside it. Look for juicy red berry, tart cherry, raspberry and savoury spice flavours on this medium-bodied red. Enjoy now with pizza night. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
