About
Since being established in 2009, Buonafide Foods has been committed to the development of Authentic and Healthy Italian Food brands. "Living part time in Italy for the past 20 years and actually working directly with the Italian small farmer and producers who share a commitment to sustainable agriculture affords me with first hand knowledge of the work and effort that goes into vineyard management as well as working knowledge of Alcohol Free wine production that reflects the authenticity of the land it is produced from" Founder, Michael Yourison. Europeans are celebrating a movement as alcohol-free wines have become increasingly popular, while in the United States the demand is increasing for more diverse alcoholic free wine options that are NOT sweet. US consumers are seeking better quality and more value in terms of alcohol free wines that can be paired with meals and that offer healthy benefits. Recently in 2018, Buonafide Foods introduced Buonafide 0.0 Totally Alcohol Free "Dry" Italian Wines to US consumers.
Alcohol-Free Wines selected reflect regional wines traditionally produced in Italy. The finest Montepulciano d' Abruzzo and Primitivo grapes are carefully selected in the vineyards during the grape harvest and make up our Rosso, Rosso "Superiore" and Rosato still and Sparkling wines, while the famed Passerina grapes are selected for our Sparkling and still Bianco wines. Grapes are selected from sustainably farmed vineyards , harvested and produced (fermented) in traditional wine making methods. At the end of the wine fermentation process, the next step in the processing is removing the alcohol from the wine in a natural "Reverse Osmosis" filtration method by our Italian Certified Alcohol-Free Wine producer partner, while maintaining the wines healthy benefits and superior quality. Once the wines are confirmed 0.0% by lab analysis company PoloLab, the wines then go through yet another process after bottling. The bottled wines go through a pasteurization process that destroys any yeast or bacteria preventing any possible future fermentation within the bottle. This natural process allows wine to maintain its organoleptic properties and enhances the grapes healthy characteristics while equating to significantly Less Calories than regular wine as well as Less Sugar than competing non-alcoholic and alcohol removed wine brands that contain up to .5% alcohol. Wines are Clean, with No Chemical additives or flavorings and are Vegan friendly. In addition, Alcohol-Free Wines are Certified HALAL with the World HALAL Union, Munich - Germany. |
