Tasting note A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon and 32% Merlot, Fratta has a delicate bouquet of red fruits, vanilla, spices and floral notes. There is good density and concentration on the palate, along with superb balance between the wine’s fruit and its structural components. Refined and serious, Fratta is an exemplary Italian Bordeaux blend with plenty of character and a long, satisfying finish. Food pairing note This well structured red is perfect with venison, or beef. Country: Italy Region: Breganze Grape variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot Vintage: 2005 Bottle size: 75cl
