Ingredients
- Fratelli Classic(Cabernet Franc Shiraz red wine)
Instructions
- [For
- Servings/Ingredients] Fratelli Classic Shiraz/Cabernet Franc (Red wine) half bottle or
- glasses (~240ml),
- slightly large wine glasses, Mutton Rogan Josh or Kebabs (meat dishes for pairing).
- Keep 'Fratelli Classic Red'—made from grapes grown in dry Solapur earth near Mumbai—around 16°C, slightly chilled for red wine (*Since India room temp is high, slight chilling tightens taste).
- Uncork bottle, pour ~120ml each into large-bowl glasses so aromas open easily.
- Swirling glass, from purplish deep ruby liquid rises ripe fruit aromas of plum/black cherry, along with Cabernet Franc-derived 'grassy aromas of bell pepper/herbs' and Shiraz's 'black pepper spiciness' complexly.
- Holding a sip, India-wine-unique jammy (like boiled-down jam) sweetness is modest; Italian-wine-like refined acidity and silk-smooth tannins (astringency) gently coat tongue.
- Shovel heavy mutton stew 'Mutton Rogan Josh' layered with multiple spices; wash down this red wine into mouth where meat's intense umami and spice aftertaste remain. Wine's herb aroma/acidity brilliantly tear through meat fat, making you crave next bite—thoroughly calculated Italy x India fusion marriage.

Trivia
[Hardcore] 'Fratelli' means 'brothers' in Italian. Winery launched by 7 people total (Indian/Italian brothers), inviting winemaker Piero Masi from Italy's prestigious Chianti region. While Indian wine giant 'Sula' emphasizes fruitiness for everyone, Fratelli is Italian style emphasizing 'refined skeleton of acidity/astringency'. Thus, a capable brand wine connoisseurs (hardcore fans) universally nominate/buy as 'India's most elegant wine'.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Drinking] After pouring into glass, intentionally leave ~10 mins letting it firmly touch air (repeating swirling), completely blossoming Italian-trained complex aromas before drinking slowly!
