Red currant and blood orange over volcanic stone. Buonafide is made in Abruzzo from Montepulciano d'Abruzzo as a wine first, then the alcohol is removed — so the minerality and the structure are what the vineyard gave it, not something built back in afterwards. The mineral character is what sets this apart. Behind the red fruit there is a dry, stony note that reads like the volcanic soil it came from, and it gives the wine a grounded finish most alcohol-free reds never reach.
