Wine Details
Price:
$16.00 per bottle
Description:
The goal on this wine was a reasonably priced dry red that Al Pacino would drink with a plate of pasta. Chambourcin based with Tannat for structure, this wine has berry fruit, a smooth mid-palate and enough tannins to make this a hearty wine for the boys. Fratelli means 'brothers', and you can never have too many brothers.

Varietal Definition
Chambourcin:
A french-american hybrid used to make red wines with fruity flavors and some herbaceousness. Grown in the cooler regions of Eastern U.S. and Canada. Decreasing acreages also found in Europe; due to stringent European Union rules these varieties cannot be blended with traditional varieties.
|
Tannat:
Deeply colored and tannic minor grape grown in the Pyrenees region of France. One of four grapes whose wine is blended to make the full-bodied red wine known as "Madiran". The others are Bouchy, Courbu and Pinenc.
