The story

The story behind Bartenura

Bartenura arrived in America in 1978, when the Herzog family's Royal Wine Corporation brought its first dry Italian kosher imports, a Valpolicella and a Soave, to the US market. The name honors Rabbi Ovadia ben Avraham of Bertinoro, the 15th century Italian rabbi known simply as The Bartenura. Grapes come from premier Italian ground, chiefly Piedmont including the Asti DOCG zone, and the Provincia di Pavia in Lombardy.

In 1992 Royal Wine put its Moscato in a cobalt blue bottle, the first wine sold that way, and it became a phenomenon. Production stays under strict kosher supervision from crush to bottling, managed entirely by Sabbath observant Jews, with no non-kosher finings. Cold fermentation preserves the fresh sweetness of the flagship Moscato.

Good to know

Bartenura questions, answered

Is Bartenura wine kosher?
Yes. Bartenura is certified kosher, and the entire process from grape crushing to bottling is managed by Sabbath observant Jews, with no non-kosher finings or stabilizing agents used.
Where is Bartenura wine from?
Bartenura is Italian. Grapes are sourced across premier Italian regions, primarily Piedmont including the Asti DOCG zone, and the Provincia di Pavia in Lombardy, then made into kosher wine for the US market.
Why is Bartenura Moscato in a blue bottle?
Royal Wine Corporation put Bartenura Moscato in cobalt blue glass in 1992 to stand out on crowded shelves. It was the first wine sold in that format and became a recognizable pop culture fixture.
How sweet is Bartenura Moscato?
It is semi-sweet and lightly sparkling. Cold fermentation is halted before completion, leaving high residual sugar and low alcohol, roughly 5 to 5.5 percent, so it drinks fresh and grapey rather than cloying.
Can I get Bartenura delivered or pick it up locally?
