Description:
The 2000 vintage at Fratelli Perata again demonstrates how the flavors held in the small Cabernet Sauvignon clusters can be transformed into a luscious glass of wine. The 2000 vintage is a blend of 3 hills of Cabernet Sauvignon.These wines are unfined and unfiltered. The lees were removed simply by racking the clear wine to clean barrels several times over the period of barrel aging. Neither enzymes nor other chemical magic were added to the juice to produce the soda pop clear, insipid wines commonly produced. We believe the best wines are made with excellent fruit gently handled by a winemaker who is more artist than chemist. Gino's brother (fratello), Joe, is adamant that our Cabernet Sauvignon meets his high (read: deep and rich) standards. This wine is worthy of bottle aging, allowing time to silken and meld its elements of fruit and oak.
