About
In 2018, Buonafide Foods Founder & CEO along with his wife were traveling through northern Italy and stopped off at a local Trattoria to enjoy a typical Italian lunch. On the wine selection menu, he noticed a wine that was described as dry tasting, traditionally produced and dealcoholized. This peaked his interest as he had made a decision several years prior to live an alcohol free lifestyle. The wine was very good and went well with the food that he ordered. The wheels were then put in motion as research began on the NA wine category and availability of high-quality NA Wines in the US markets. A decision was then made to meet with the owners of the Italian wine company who were dealcoholizing traditionally produced Italian wines as consumers in Europe and other countries outside of the US were seeking lower and non alcoholic wine alternatives. After tasting a variety of the dealcoholized wines and touring the facility to learn more about the process, the next steps that followed was additional research and development to evaluate the US market demand for the types of a high quality "Dry Tasting" Italian wine alternatives. This included having Italy's Top Sommelier taste and evaluate the wines selected. It was soon thereafter that a decision was made to brand selected wines, Buonafide 0.0, for direct import and sale to US consumers for both retail and foodservice trades. The wines are "Dry" tasting and are made in the traditional method of making wine with no added artificial/natural flavorings or chemical additives. The wine goes through a reverse Osmosis natural filtration system removing the alcohol from the wine. Wines maintain their organoleptic properties and enhance the grapes healthy characteristics while equating to 50% Less Calories than regular wine and Less Sugar than competing non-alcoholic and alcohol removed wines that contain up to .5% alcohol. Wine is then sent to a third party lab for analysis and then goes through yet another process of bottling and pasteurization which destroys any bacteria while preventing any yeast for future fermentation in the bottle.
