Fratelli Vineyards Marks 15 Years Of SETTE With Limited-Edition Release

15 Years Of SETTE

Fratelli Vineyards announced the release of a new vintage of its flagship label, SETTE, marking the wine’s 15th anniversary. The launch is accompanied by a limited-edition presentation created in collaboration with designer Manish Malhotra. The initiative brings together elements of fine winemaking and Indian luxury design, with the bottle positioned as a collector’s edition.

SETTE is considered one of Fratelli’s most prominent wines, recognised for its structure, depth, and ageing potential. The latest vintage has been produced using low-yielding vines, with grapes sourced exclusively from the estate’s oldest vineyard parcels, originally planted in 2007. According to the company, this release pays tribute to the inaugural 2009 vintage and represents one of the most mature fruit expressions under the label to date.

As part of the anniversary edition, Manish Malhotra has designed a bespoke presentation featuring a textured gold finish. The design draws inspiration from elements of Indian couture, emphasising detail and craftsmanship. The collaboration highlights shared themes of precision, time, and artistry associated with both winemaking and fashion.

Speaking on the collaboration, Gaurav Sekhri, Managing Director, Fratelli Vineyards, said, “At Fratelli Vineyards, SETTE has always embodied the pinnacle of what we strive to achieve. The 15th anniversary of SETTE marks a defining milestone, a testament to years of patience, mastery, and unwavering belief in Indian terroir. Collaborating with Manish Malhotra for this edition was a natural choice; his design language, rooted in heritage yet boldly modern, perfectly reflects the journey of SETTE. This limited edition celebrates time, craftsmanship, and a shared vision of contemporary Indian luxury.”

Manish Malhotra, Founder & Creative Director, added, “Collaborating with Fratelli Vineyards for this milestone edition of SETTE was a true celebration of craftsmanship. Winemaking and couture share a common language — patience, attention to detail, and a dedication to creating something timeless. This limited edition allowed us to translate that philosophy into a design that is both rooted in heritage and unmistakably contemporary.”

The vintage is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Sangiovese, matured exclusively in French oak barrels. It presents notes of raspberry, violet, and blackcurrant, complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and spice. The wine is described as smooth and well-structured, with a balanced profile that combines intensity and elegance.

SETTE has established a reputation within the Indian premium wine segment for its depth, structure, and ageing potential. With this release, Fratelli Vineyards will replant the original vineyard, signalling a new phase for the estate. As the final bottling from the founding vineyard, this vintage marks a transition point, linking the brand’s origins with its future direction.

The limited-edition presentation, designed by Manish Malhotra, positions the release as a collector’s item.
