Vino dei Fratelli

Veneto, Italy

Our label shows an ancient Roman coin struck in 46 BC depicting two of the most famous FRATELLI (brothers) in the Roman religion. Castor and Pollux fell in love with beautiful sisters who were already betrothed. The brothers challenged their rivals, but Castor was mortally wounded. Zeus placed both their immortal souls in the sky as symbols of brotherly love – today’s constellation Gemini.
