We first discovered Vino de Milo in 2005. It was a new line of gourmet tomato sauces for pasta and other dishes. Each flavor had a different wine in the recipe.

Yes, you can taste the freshness! Like the other Vino de Milo pasta sauces, it is made in small batches with no added sugars added and is gluten-free. The products can be ordered from iGourmet.com. |
