The red wine at Fratelli is called Sette, and it is truly a unique and exceptional blend. As an expert sommelier and brewer, I have had the pleasure of experiencing a wide range of wines, but Sette stands out for its elegance and approachability.
The name “Sette” itself carries a sense of intrigue and sophistication. It evokes a feeling of mystery and allure, drawing you in to discover what lies within the bottle. And once you do take that first sip, you are transported to a world of rich flavors and captivating aromas.
What makes Sette so special is the combination of terroir, climate, and crop. Fratelli has carefully selected the finest grapes from their vineyards, taking into account the unique qualities of the soil, the climate of the region, and the specific characteristics of the grape varieties used in the blend. This attention to detail and commitment to quality is evident in every aspect of Sette.
The terroir plays a crucial role in shaping the character of Sette. The soil composition, sun exposure, and altitude of the vineyards all contribute to the flavors and aromas that are present in the wine. Fratelli understands the importance of terroir and has chosen vineyard sites that are ideally suited for producing grapes of exceptional quality.
The climate in which the grapes are grown also plays a significant role in the development of Sette. The warm days and cool nights of the region create the perfect conditions for the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly, allowing for the development of complex flavors and balanced acidity. This balance is what gives Sette its approachability and makes it a pleasure to drink.
Lastly, the crop itself is carefully selected and meticulously cared for. Fratelli takes great pride in their vineyards and ensures that only the healthiest and most vibrant grapes make it into the final blend. This attention to detail is evident in the final product, as Sette showcases the true potential of the grape varieties used.
Having personally tasted Sette, I can attest to its elegance and approachability. The wine is smooth and velvety on the palate, with a delightful balance of fruitiness and spice. The aromas are inviting, with notes of dark berries, chocolate, and a hint of oak. It is a wine that is easy to enjoy on its own, but also pairs exceptionally well with a variety of foods.
Sette is the signature red wine at Fratelli, and it is a true testament to the passion and dedication of the winemakers. Its unique combination of terroir, climate, and crop result in an elegant and approachable blend that is sure to delight any wine enthusiast.
