 Vino Botanico: Fragola e Basilico (Strawberry and Basil)
Taste what the Buzz is all about
We are thrilled that our first in a series of four botanical wines is so wildly popular and that we can hardly keep up with the demand! This exceptional wine has quickly become our fastest-selling wine ever, and we are excited for you to experience what everyone is raving about. Grab a bottle and try this delicious wine for yourself.
Made from Sangiovese and Montepulciano grapes and infused with natural strawberry and basil extracts, this botanical sparkling rose is aromatic, refreshing, and delicious. Designed in the style made famous by the classic 1950s movie “Roman Holiday” with Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn, sipping this off-dry bubbly will take you to Italy and a relaxed pace of life where time is joyously spent with friends and family. |

Raffaldini Wines Now Available Across NC
Raffaldini wines available exclusively at the Villa we have found a wholesale distribution firm that targets wine shops and restaurants rather than mass supermarket, etc. We sought to build connections with independent retailers and restaurateurs so we can still tell our story to the sales outlet and build on the connection that we have with all of you. To begin, we agreed to have two value-based wines (Bella Misto and Bianco) as well as higher end (Vermentino Superiore and Montepulciano Riserva) available for sale.
After nearly two decades of having To locate a store near you, simply go to raffaldini.com then hover your mouse over shop on the header. When the drop down menu appears, click "Find Raffaldini Wines" at the bottom of the list. Once on the Raffaldini Store Locator, you can use the drop down to search by type or location or type in your zip code and search a radius for outlets near you. If you don’t see your favorite wine shop listed please email me directly at jay@raffaldini.com and I will work with our wholesale partner to get them in the store near you.
