Bold new packaging features a dramatic battle scene from an 1879 engraving by John Reinhard Weguelin. It depicts a Roman legend in which Castor and Pollux are transformed into two young knights who battled so bravely together that they spurred on the army of the Kingdom of Rome to a legendary victory at the Battle of Lake Regillus in the early 5th Century B.C.
“The new Vino dei Fratelli labels make a strong statement about the bonds between brothers and the power of family,” said Dennis Kreps, who developed the labels with his brother,
Steve Jr. and father, Steve Sr. “Each of the wines under this brand has been made in proud partnership with a family-owned Italian winery that represents the top quality of their respective region.”
Included in the Vino dei Fratelli line are Moscato d’Asti; Prosecco; Pinot Grigio from Friuli-Venezia; Chianti; Montepulciano d’Abruzzo; Mochetto (a lightly sparkling pink wine made from a blend of Moscato and Brachetto from Piedmont), and Casa Rosa, a frizzante sweet red wine. The wines have all been selected for their exceptional food-friendliness and high quality-to-price ratio.
While each of the wines under the Vino dei Fratelli brand is produced by a family-owned winery from one of Italy’s premier winemaking regions, the brand was created by the father-and-sons leadership team of Quintessential Wines– Steve Kreps Sr., Dennis Kreps, and Steve Kreps Jr.
